100% Chance of Pain asked:
If a person was convicted of a felony 14 years ago, what should they do when applying for a job when asked about their criminal past? I know there are different types of background checks that companies do. For instance…A larger, national company will have the money to spend on a thourough National background check, but these types of checks are usually expensive and time consuming. On the other hand a smaller, local company may only invest in a statewide, 7 or 10 year background check as these are usually cheaper and the results are faster. How does a person with a non-violent felony coviction from 14-15 years ago deal with something like this when applying for a job that they are otherwise qualified for? I am looking into applying for a small, local trucking company, but I dont want to reveal my background if it is not neccessary as I believe they will likely only do a statewide 10 yr. background check. The company Im currently working for is small and they only did a statewide.
