Dirty_habiT Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I was wondering how many people here have had to do this. What's the best solution to getting a job if you have a criminal record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaztlove Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 If it's some juvenile shit you can say you've never convicted and not be lying. I'm told juveniles aren't convicted, they're adjudicated. Yeah though, I say fuck it, lie. I don't think most places can get your criminal record (state and federal jobs aside, why would you want one anyway? and who wants to be a security guard or some shit like that). If your average joe employer really wanted to know what was up with your criminal record I think you'd have to go to city hall and give them some forms or some shit.

ODS-1 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 You could work at McDonalds. Not really. In fifth grade kids actually wanted to work there because they like it so much. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told juveniles aren't convicted, they said if im asked if ive had a criminal conviction i can say no, but if they ask if i have a criminal record then i have to say yes (unless im gonna lie).....but when i turn 18 it all gets wiped off the system for me anyway;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLIK$ Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 dirty we talked about this on AIM briefly, did you plead guilty or non-guilty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 amateurs... just lie.. if they catch you, tell em that they told you it was supposed to be expunged. and i put communty service on my resume as volunteer work; most organizations won't remember why you're doing it, and, as long as you're cool w/ the folks, it prolly wont come up in a convo.

NOE1 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 i have this problem. Im on probation but i never got convicted it was just an arrest. Ill be off paper in 2007. I usually just lie on my applications. either thator i can actually tell teh truth and say ive never been convicted of any crime. But some applications ask if you have ever been put on probation. Go to court. Get a badass lawyer and tell them your interested inlaw enforcement >They can have it expunged . It works . then just ditch the idea .

8onus Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 1.LIE 2.WORK YOUR ASS OFF FOR THEM when they catch you either give them a sob story or say so and so said it was ok at the court....either way if they see you are a hard worker and an asset to the buisness, 9/10 times they wont fire you.

fermentor666 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 The plus side is that having a criminal record is a good way to get out of jury duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfreshsushi Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 working any job that would ask about a criminal record doesn't sound like much fun to me. a friend of mine told me that at the video store he works at, the application said "have you ever been convicted of a crime (not including misdemeanor possesion of marijuana)?"

villain Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 you can try and get that shit expunged but I'd imagine it ain't easy. Just try and get the judge to see you are a productive member of society.... And the military takes criminals. You just have to get a waiver. But I don't think you'd want to join the military.... Or you could lie. Aren't criminal records a public record though? I know you can access court hearings. The resume thing is a good idea. You got enough skills you shouldn't have a problem finding work I would say but I don't really know how bad the civilian workforce is doing right now. Pretty bad from what I hear. Well good luck.
