Would you hire anyone with a criminal record?
|
This is my first crime, that i've committed, since it being my frist offense, after i pay my fine it will be erased from my record. So if I had the qualifications of a job i'm applying for, would i be discharged because of my record?

I have a drinking and driving mistake on mine and I was up front about it, and was able to show them that I have taken steps to make sure that it never happen again. I was hired, and they thanked me for my honesty. They told me that so many people are let go for lying and then later getting caught.
I suggest paying for a background report to see if your record is clear. Know what information they have on you.
Don't be nervous about it. HR departments deal with the mass population of people with diverse backgrounds.
Sure, ultimately, the hiring choice is theirs. My question to you: do you want to work someplace where you have to hide who you are? We are only as sick as a darkest secrets. |

every company of course has their own policies but most are fairly understanding. If it was a misdemeanor no problem. A felony may take some more convincing on your part that you are worthy of a job during the interview process. Don't worry about it too much even many police departments will hire people who have made mistakes in the past just be honest about it and make sure to live up to your promises of being a good employee. |

it all depends on what the fine was for. i mean if it was a felony most likely not but if was a minor crime i think it would be a good chance that you would be hired |

They might tell you that it will be erased from your record, but it wont. |

Not necessarily, but possibly. It would depend on the standards of the employer and what exactly the offense was.

i think it's wrong if someone has been punished for what they've done and they are truly sorry then it's unfair for employers not to hire them because of their record; but as they say don't do the crime if you can't do the time |

not really, but if you want a job in the Government, they may do. |
