do you have to disclose criminal past on job applications?

It really depends on the law of your land - it depends which country (possibly state?) you live in. Here in the UK there is a certain amount of time during which you have to declare it, after which the slate is wiped clean. I suggest you ask your lawyer!

Probably. No one wants to hire someone who will steal from them or be bad to have in whatever the work environmeny is. This is what a criminal record (with felonies) implies.\n\nSo you'll really have to make someone fall in love with you before they see your record. If you're particularly amiable, they may hire you on the spot.

You can pay to get the information from some web sites, but if you don't want to do that just include letter of explanation in the application.  If you do go the pay route and the information does not come up you might not want to disclose the information.  It's up to you because if they find out by some other means or agency you will not be hired or you will be let go when they do find out.  There are many different levels of background checks that employers do.  Think it over.

Sorry Smokey but you are wrong. If you have a conviction, and I had one at 14 years of age, it stays on your record at the Criminal records office for life. It is not however referred to after 7 years as this comes under the spent convictions tab under the rehabilitation of offenders act so you do not have to disclose it. If however you appear in court at a later date after the 7 years they can bring it up in court. I know this to be 100% correct. Hope it helps.

The crazy thing is that, it's possible that it can. You just need to go to the county where it happened, and get the record yourself, to see what is on it. I was surprised when I saw mine. Once you have the record, when applying for the job, list and explain the situation. They should not hold this against you. They will however hold it against you if you lie about it. That has happened to me before too. Better safe than sorry. \nps. There is a such thing as an "arrest report". You were arrested, but found inocent. It would still be on your "arrest report". Again, better safe than sorry".

There really isn't any "getting around this."\n\nYou are obligated to tell the truth on job applications.  You'd definitely be in worse shape if you got caught lying about it.\n\nYour best bet is to collect some fresh, respectable references who will speak to potential employers about you, or who will write a letter in support of your job applications.\n\nGood luck.

It is leagle, but be advised, you do not have to provide them as a condition of employment on an application.  They need only be provided on your W-4 tax form, and any security background questionere, provided there is included on that form a disclosure of your rights and responsibilities regarding your employment, and a privacy act of 1974 disclosure form which you must sign before any of this information can be used by your prospective employer.

YOU CANT EXPUNGE CONVICTIONS.  Anyone who told you otherwise is mistaken.  Also you cannot get any bonded employment with a theft conviction. your employer will tell you that you falsified your job application when you didn't put this down.  grounds for dismissal and no unemployment.

Yes you can and if you failed to tell your employer then that is considered lying on your application.

You have to tell the truth on an application because if they find out later you lied you can be fired. Obviously they want experienced persons. But you could complete the rest of the application and in that spot put No Experience and make comment as to why you think you qualify.

If you were acquitted, there will be no record so it will not affect your job search. You need not even list it on an application. That being said, I have seen many potential employees with similar questions and found over the years that "thrown out of court" can mean numerous other outcomes besides acquittal. If you received a STET docket or PBJ, those are different than innocence. The charges exist and essentially the state and yourself agree that the state has enough evidence to convict you but the elect to not try the case. If this was the real outcome it could certainly have a negative impact on your job search unless it was expunged.

Petition the courts to seal or expunge your record, if your crime was non-violent and you have stayed out of trouble for all this time, the judge should agree.\nBut I have to ask what jobs you're applying for that ask you to disclose criminal history more than the usual 5 or 7 years old. Perhaps you should be looking for work in less "security oriented" fields.\nAnd have you registered with your local job service? They can take your history into account when matching you with potential employers, so at least you won't be wasting time with interviews that won't yield results.\nFor more feedback, I suggest you visit http://www.prisontalk.com

A felon can get any job he or she is qualified for as long as you disclose the fact that you are a felon on your application.  You have to be upfront about it. Hiding it will get your application tossed in the trash.  State reasons why you would be an asset to that company.  Remember to state how you are not that person anymore, and you have been rehabilitated and won't be getting into any more trouble - and then stick to it! \n\nIt is against the law to not hire someone based solely on the fact that they are a felon, but of course it happens anyway. If you get the interview after they read on your app that you are a felon, you have a fair employer and a good shot at the job.  Be honest though so as not to waste your time with a potential employer who would not hire you.  If you get the interview and you're qualified for the job and present yourself in a professional manner you have just as much chance at any job as anyone. \n\ngood luck

No!  You completed a diversion, and part of that priviledge is not having to report misdemeanors on job applications.  Because you completed a diversion, you DON'T HAVE a misdemeanor.

That depends upon how you define "clean".  You commit ed a misdemeanor, which will show on your record, just as a speeding ticket would.  If you are concerned about having to mention this when you apply for jobs, etc., you need not worry.  The question asked when applying for a job is if you have a felony record.  Unless there's some other activity that you aren't telling us about, you don't have a felony record.

It will be on your record for the rest of your life.  However, most employers do not ask you to report it, if it's older than 7 years.  Most background checking companies will ignore a misdemeanor unless the employer specifically requests that information (they are more concerned with Felonies).
