How do I write a good resume about myself when I have 2 misdemeanors on my perminate record?

Sorry I misspelled permanent, I was in a little bit of a hurry.

You'll never want to add a section for crimes on your resume. Keep in mind that misdemeanors are forgivable, but felonies are what could really disqualify you.

I've never heard of putting your record with the police on a resume. I would then have to agree, yes leave that part out. Usually the background check comes after interview process etc. Everybody has a couple skeletons in there closet, so my advice would be to be honest about it, but don't give more information than asked. Never elaborate but answer the questions truthfully. Good Luck!

contact a lawyer about having the record sealed or expunged. if they are a little older convictions, then he or she might make them go away.

First, by learning how to spell "permanent" correctly.

Second, it is not necessary to point out misdemeanors on one's resume. Be aware that this information will probably surface if the company requires a background check, and be prepared to explain it if necessary.

With the exception of certain drug-related misdemeanors, companies cannot refuse to hire you on the basis of a misdemeanor unless they have a specific policy which prohibits them from doing so.

Good luck.

I used this resume writing service in my area, this is there website: http://www.resumeworld1.com you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs. I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime. Also they let me pay through Pay Pal

Assuming you mean "permanent", rather than "perminate", do not include your criminal record on your resume. If there is an application required and it asks for your criminal record, then by all means be truthful and forthcoming. You will fare better if you explain your convictions than if you lie and get caught. Even if you get the job and they find later that you lied, you'll probably get fired.

Secondly, use spellchecker or have someone who can spell, proofread your resume before submitting it.


Stop the Stupidity
You do not include offenses on your resume.
Most places ask if you have federal convictions anyway.

the legal thing to is to go to the court house and get them expunged from your record. its just a lot of paper work.

Generally the resume is about work experience. If a prospective employer wants specifics, I would wait until that time comes. They may not have a problem with that.

they will see them if its a job that requires a background check though so dont be suprised if they do come up. depending on what it is though i woudlnt worry.
