How are they going to find out about it? \n\nCan you go to court and get your record expunged

any felony will effect any job.It's up to the hospitals policy in your case,and possibly state laws are involved.check with a low cost handy dandy paralegal to help you find out.

Again it's maybe.  Some places will not hire, others might.  What will kill you is things like your first question about trying to buy schedule II drugs online.

I understand what you mean. In some cases previous employment should make a person ineligible for certain jobs. For example, a former pimp should not be allowed to act as vice-president of the United States, nor should a hitman be allowed to work as a pediatrician. I guess we need more laws.

I'm assuming that since you have the certificate it was an arrest and conviction and not just an arrest. If the incident was 21 years ago and you've had a clean record since then, then you probably won't have much of a problem. The biggest hurdle you'll have to face is if your arrest was for drugs. People with drug convictions in their background will be automatically disqualified from some jobs, especially if you're applying for a position where you'd have access to controlled substances. The best advice that I can give you is to be 100% honest when applying for the job. Lying about your past will get you in more trouble than telling the truth.

The owner OWNS the business. Is he going to fire himself because he doesn't want himself working for himself anymore. Most pot head owners I've worked for will smoke you up on break. Who would get the results? He'd take the test and they hand him the results. 'You have drugs in your system, sir.' 'Really!? I had no idea. I'm a freakin drug addict. Damn me, damn me to heck.'

Depending on what you did you might be Shit out of Luck, Bub. \n\nYou should have considered that before Fucking up. \n\nNow, you might have to consider another line of work.  \n\nFor example, if you got busted taking drugs and you're a Drug Rep, no ones going to want to hire you. \n\nChange professions or keep applying. If it's a felony you have to tell them. \n\nI mean if you're a Theif, Good luck b/c No one is gonna wanna hire you. You'll definately have to settle in that case. \n\nI say try to play it light. Don't go into too many details or that'll be the only thing they think about during and after your interview, ya know? Keep it light, don't freak out, have a good excuse, and change the subject pretty fast.  Just talk up your good qualities. \n\nHave fun!

Where do you work?\n\nMany companies offer their employees Employee Assistance Programs. These are entirely confidential, and your employer will not know about it. Most companies know that drug addiction is a societal problem, and accept the fact that some of their employees are going to have that problem. This is why good companies have these EAPs for the benefit of their employeers.\n\nSomeone has already mentioned Narcotics Anonymous. That is a good resource. \n\nCall you county mental health department, or visit its web site.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

Your state would be helpful to answer your question completely.  But I will tell you what it would mean in New York.\n\nIf it is not a misdemeanor or a felony it technically is not a crime, but a violation much like a traffic ticket.  While it will be on your criminal record it should not prevent you from entering the criminal justice field of employment.  My advice is to own up to it, never lie about it and when asked about it be honest and say what it was...a monumental lapse in judgment.  There are thousands of police officers, lawyers and judges who have misdemeanor convictions and this is less than that.\n\nWhat you did was not a felony.  It was mere possession.  What your friend did was, that was technically a sale (just to let you know.)  Before someone jumps on me, you don't need to exchange money for a sale, simply giving drugs to someone is in and of itself a transaction and constitutes a sale under the law, although rarely prosecuted.\n\nListen to your lawyer, get a lawyer if you don't have one, and they will tell you the ramifications for pleading guilty.\n\nThe one thing that might come back to haunt you is that federal student aid can be denied for narcotic convictions regardless of the level.  So be aware of that.\n\nSome of the advice on here is really, really bad so always speak with an attorney in your State that will be best to assist you.

No, you'll probably end up getting your butt dragged back to jail......You probably can't get a job because of that in the first place. Getting taken back there isn't going to help any.

If you company has policies against using drugs, you can be legally terminated. Even if the drugs you used were legal at the time you used them.\nSo be careful.\n\nTo find out more than you could ever want to know about the legal aspects:\nhttp://www.alalinc.net/library/over_research_master.cfm?Action=Drug

Depends on the Dept and the "blemishes". Smaller towns are way more leinient. Larger towns are harder to get into. Call the dept you are interested in and ask. They are always recruiting.\n\nYeah and try to spell a bit better on the application. I know they accept people who have smoked pot in the past but not the recent past. But not other drugs. And they ask and believe me they find out more about you than you want them to.

In Canada it would show up but not prohibit employment. I do not think you have anything to worry about even if it does show up and you will have a chance to explain anyway.

I'm sure if there are laws about notification time they will differ depending on the state in which you live.  If you're worried about having enough time to eradicate your drug of choice from your system, I would say that it won't matter whether you have notification or not.\n\nMost companies that pre-screen potential employees will also have random drug tests during time of employment.  In other words, if you're taking drugs, the likelihood that you'll face a random drug test in the future is great!\n\nEither find an employer who does not test for drugs before or during employment or stop taking them.

How is this wierd? drug dealers usually sell because they are materialistic and selfish or else they would have a legal, lower paying job. That is a stereotype. Not ALL drug dealers are bad people some need to be shown the way and learn from their mistake and become productive citizens in society.
