I was asked to come in for a second interview......?
Find answers to your legal question.





I was asked to come in for a second interview......?

my first went well. The job would be for and administrative assistant. I have a misdemeanor theft charge to my name. So far they have not done a background check and they have not asked me to fill out an application. They have called my references. Do you think they will do a background check?

depending on the employer they may do a background check.

it would be better for you to bring it up.
explain what happened, what the results were, what you learned, how this experience has changed you and made you a better prospective employee. turn this blemish into a positive and a tool.

Be prepared to explain, if necessary. Don't lie.

Take things positively and attend the second interview. If they find out you do not get the job otherwise you would get. Being afraid and over sensitive you would not perform the interview well. Just go ahead and attend everything would be fine afterall this job alone is not the end of the world. The brave always wins . All the best.

Just be ready if any questions come up. Not glib. Be truthful and humble that you made a mistake.

Maybe, don't worry about it, stay optimistic

Depends on the company. Some employers do and others do not. At times, misdemeanor offenses do not put off some employers; however, if and when you fill out an application, be sure to indicate it if it is asked for. Some companies simply have stricter policies than others.

Being truthful is impressive to many employers, so be sure to fess up if asked. Better to be upfront and get a job at the right company than to be untruthful and make a bad impression by getting caught (it usually always comes to light).

Best of luck to you!
