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.

Yes tell them. They will have it on file anyway. It's best to be honest.

Of course they can!\n\nNow..legally the former employer  should only be able to say your dates of employment and if you are eligible for rehire. \n\nThat doesn't mean that Joe from burger barn doesn't know Susan over at the hot dog king and they don't go for drinks and a little gossip passes over a cocktail. \n\nPeople talk..legally the company should keep things private..that doesn't control gossip.

What did this person do before they met you? Were they in trouble? They had to do something for the department of corrections to have a record on them. Records are not made up.

It's not that jobs require background checks, it's just that they will do them for there own protection. I am a convicted felon and am still trying to work through it, we have all made mistakes, some bigger then others.\n\nHere is what you can do, do not fill out applications, bypass the application process (assuming that you will have to check yes in the box at the bottom, you know what I mean)by sending in resumes instead. When you get a call back from the resume you sent in setup an interview. In the interview process the will have you sign a consent of background check, at this time say "there is something you have a right to know, x months/years ago I was convicted of x at the time I was x, since then I have learned from my mistakes etc...."\n\nDepending on when you were released and your family status, you may be eligible for a few programs state and federally funded, go to your local unemployment office and inform them that you have x conviction and you need help getting a job, hopefully they will redirect you to a program that assists reformed offenders to get a job.

I don't think so, unless the prior conviction has you on probation or on a sex offendor register.

If you live in the USA, expungement only means that details of your incident cannot be reported.  Your name can still be punched in, say online and it will show your name and if it was a felony or not.  That is all.\n\nDo not report it because your chances of being found out are much less than the chances of you not getting the job because you did.  Just don't go exposing yourself to anyone at work or you might tip them off to check!  LOL!

depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

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

Regardless of whether it's a crime, one should not lie about employment status as it's not what an ethical profession with integrity would do.  One may get into more trouble if found out.  \n\nBeing unemployed is not necessarily something to be ashamed of if at all; things happen and there could be so many extenuating circumstances.  It's much better to give your story a "positive spin" when asked, such as (only if applicable), the amount you travel for the old job prohibited you from looking for a new job, company downsized a significant portion of workforce (aka not as personal), you had some fundamental disagreement with the way business was done/ people were treated at old firm, etc.  But of course these need to be founded explanations and that you need to have a story to back it up.

I have some gaps in my work history.  They aren't questioned.  If they do question, just say you were working outside of your profession, SAHM, federal prison, etc.

Yes.  You should disclose it on your job application.

Yes. You are protected under Federal Law. You must be able to prove the employer gave information other than date of employment and job type.

First, you might be able to get the government job even if it is not expunged.  Second, some government jobs require you to disclose the conviction even if it was expunged.

No way.\n\nThis situation would fall under the fair credit reporting act.  No financial institution is allowed to release info like that without your express written consent.\n\nThe only info they can release legally, is to tell someone if your account has enough funds to cover a check you wrote.  And this would be a simple, yes or no answer.\n\nYou could file a complaint with your state attorney general, but I would believe that both your boss and his banking friend would deny it happened.\n\nIf I were in your shoes, I would close down my account, and after I have opened a new account, send a letter to the VP telling him exactly why you moved your banking.

It's up to both the judge and your probation officer, but you could be looking at the original amount of time you were facing when you got probation?
