My criminal record is hindering me from getting a job

[keon]

Then dont come in here and act like you're a lawyer, B. He plead guilty to a misdemeanor, that's a guilty conviction. Once you get that sh*t sealed, it's from there. You can answer no to all that sh*t. And it's like you never had a record.

Damn, what state do u live in that you cant get your sh*t sealed?

breh..wtf are you talking about? i said every app i've seen asks if you been convicted of a FELONY

and i never said you couldn't get your shyt sealed..but if you got more then 1 felony in illinois, you not gettin shyt sealed.

with todays technology.. now a days, they check everything. I've applied for jobs that check your driving record (even though it has nothing to do with the job itself) credit checks.. all types of shyt.

I have no charges and I can't find a job also


Looks like I'll have to start doing volunteer work

I think some of you suffer from really limited social networks, too from the sounds of things. I'd say that's more damning than a record.

I dont know the exact wording, but they dont ask just ask that, breh. Anybody here will tell you that.

maybe they changed it, cuz i haven't had to look for a job in 7 years, and im'ma 3 time felon..

but like they say, "it ain't what you know, its who you know"

I co sign that trade school suggestion.

Try electrician or something where you can get out quick.

Why has nobody asked this guy the obvious question? What state does he live in?

Also, if you live near a university with a law school, I recommend going there. They offer legal advice for free and may help you in possibly getting your record expunged.

1. Those Trade schools cost money
2. What do u think the companies that hire these, electricians, plumbers, etc, put on their applications or look for when they do background checks?

Criminal record, no job! Simple as that.

It's game over for even trying to land a decent job.
