In New York, is it legal to give someone a job without the job being posted or allowing anyone to apply?

Yes. In fact, it's legal in all 50 states.

This is hardly ever a problem - unless you've signed a contract of exclusivity with one of the staffing firms (which doesn't generally happen, but check through your paperwork, just in case).  I know a lot of employers that post their available positions with all of the major staffing firms in town - and they usually have better/faster results than the companies that only recruit through one.

That can be different from state to state.  I know that in one state (NY?) you had to get the job first--then you'd go for the permit, they'd give you a physical, and look at the kind of work you'd be doing.  That was several years ago, don't know if it's changed.  You can call your state employment office or the Teen Work Program.

It is illegal for someone to not hire a person for previous criminal record...But what they usually do is give you some other excuse to try to not hire you...Next time tell your friend to be upfront with it first and they will know if they are going to get the job or not.

The first poster is correct.  I would add that if you refused permission, your chances for getting the job would plummet dramatically.

There are many agencies out there that specialize in doing just that...helping released cons attain jobs and lead normal lives. My cousin works for one in New York. Email me if you are in NY I may be able to help you out if you need assistance....

Look in the Help Wanted ads in your newspaper :)\n\nUnfortunately, Yahoo! Answers isn't a "help wanted" or "for hire" bulletin board.  This particular section is for asking questions ABOUT employment, not asking FOR employment. You might have better luck if you try Yahoo! Groups http://groups.yahoo.com

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

That question gives you answer choices, Yes or No. Do not do any assuming. It's in your disadvantage. If offered a job be sure that they will contact the current employer as part of the background check. Just choosing "No" would not hurt you. If you do not want to tell your current employer, don't tell and choose No. as I said that is just for the application process not for the hiring. You can even specify on the comments section that the reason you chose No is because at this time your current employer is not aware that you are looking at some other opportunities. It is fair. It's an open market.That's what I'd do. Of course, you have to go with your gut feeling.\n\nGood Luck!

I think what you are basically talking about is already allowed, I mean I actually know someone who has helped a homeless person find a job and clean up and get his own small trailor home, while helping him save some money in a shared bank account, maintained by the helper. But yes, in that sense, I believe it should be allowed if it isn't already.

It is both illegal and highly unethical. The majority of jobs would fire you upon finding out, and possibly sue you for fraud.

Yes.  It is possible for the employer to apply for a change of status on behalf of the prospective employee.  The applicant may remain in the US in the meantime, but may not begin work until the change os status has been approved.

It depends on what State your in.   The laws vary from State to State.  In most cases, if there is misrepresentation on the employer's part you should be OK.   Signed Contracts are legal and binding.   Why would someone want to force a person to work who does not want to?

No... when someone calls in reference to their employment you can't "slander" them. But if they ask, would you rehire them you can say NO! Or if they ask if they were on time... if they weren't you can say no to that also.

if you are looking to get hired, then NONE in your system whatsoever. \n\nas a correctional officer, you are sworn to uphold the law.

No, because the rules for collecting unemployment reqire that the claimant be available to work and actively seeking work. An inmate is not available to work and certainly can't go on job interviews.
