honestly, no... they dont even hire someone with a misdemeanor

your best bet would be to work for a small company/ someone local

If they hire you then fire you, you can sue. A friend of mine did that after they hired her they fired her because they "Found the Felony" You can get three years pay as the settlement.

I have 1 misdemeanor DUI and I was hired for a business development/account manager position for a small technology company in the DC metro area. Sometimes it is better to apply at small companies to build your reputation and skills to strive later for larger corporations. This will better your chances to get hired or at least plead your case.

Just from experience (recently, I might add)... I worked for Comcast indirectly through another contractor. When that particular contractor lost their contract with Comcast, it was suggested by numerous direct Comcast employees (whom I had gotten close to while working there) to apply for a certain in-house position with Comcast. After applying, a background check was performed, needless to say... I was not hired, nor will those employees who suggested I apply speak to me anymore. I'm appalled at the fact that I was extremely liked, and relied upon for my skills that I brought to them, yet when a felony was found out, they had an extremely different attitude towards me.

This did happen to a friend of mine in AZ. Although employed by a different company (not Comcast), they did fire her.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? This is a common question on 99% of all job applications. When signing the application, read carefully, you are confirming all your answers are true to the best of your knowledge. You can be fired on the basis you lied on the original application.

Also, unless you have a signed "contract of employment" I am pretty sure you can be dismissed at any time. Making a case valid, other then discrimination (of any type), would be hard to prove and expensive to fight.

Again, just judging my comment on a friends experience with a different company in Arizona.

No they will not hire anybody with really ANY dishonourable past, no matter what the circumstances. They are very picky and really check every bit of you out! Its almost intimidating even for somebody who has never had any trouble! It is quite a process and a bit extreme really!

Three years pay as settlement, eh? Is that the reward for trying to defraud a huge corporation? They have a lot more money to spend on lawyers than you do. I don't think you'll get anything for lying on your application, a previous felony kinda something you can't overlook. Like "oops, that's right, I DID steal retirees identities a few years back, my bad"...no lol, that's silly.

Most reputable companies will not hire you if you have any kind of felony, as it should be. If there is someone as qualified as you for the job, or even a little less qualified and they haven't performed any illegal actions, particularly ones involving moral turpitude, then they deserve a job more than you. Thanks!

Now I may not be on board with suing a company as a get rich quick scheme, but I am totally against condemning people who have paid their debt to society to a lower social class. Who are you to judge us? It's that type of attitude that results in people who are trying to reform their lives giving up and resorting to their previous skill set, robbing stuck up people like you. So the next time your car windows busted out and your stereo is gone, or you find out someone racked up 8 grand on your credit card, you have no one to blame but yourself and the millions of people like you who will let us out of prison, but never let us rejoin society.

I know a manager that works for comcast. will they hire me with a 6 year old felony if she will be a reference for me?

As a former employee of Comcast...according to their policy, you will not get hired if the felony is known, regardless of who your reference is.

I hear mcdonald's hires felons. Also, lots of cable contractors have less stringent standards. Um... construction contractors, pretty much anywhere that you will not be a permanent employee will give you the consideration and potential job you need to stay out of jail and make some money. I have friends who are welders and pipefitters that are pulling in way more money than I am, they just have to go from job to job with the staffing company. That whole victim of society crap doesn't really convince me of anything, I came back from the Marines and didn't have references or hookups to get where I am. Give it your all and great things will follow.

I made the mistake of not putting down my misdemeanors and now my app is going into the "review board" so it is doubtful I will get hired. I have two posessions, one paraphanelia charge and 2 DWAI's over a span of 3 years, my last arrest being 6 years ago...none of them being felonies. I can't believe how you get punished for things you have done as a kid. I've been hired on as a substitute teacher for god's sake I think I will be fine answering the phone all day for them. They will call me by the end of next week to let me know I am too criminal. Sure would be a bitter end to a sweet deal.

what about if you had a misdemeanor that you completed diversion on? my lawyer said it would be expunged....?

While it is true that Comcast generally does not hire felons, the nature of lost's crime is also of significance. As a Convicted Child Abuser, lost spent 10 years in a Maximun Security Facility. Lost was convicted of beating her 2 month old son nearly to daeth, and that child, now 15 years old is profoundly mentally retarded because of the beating(s). I wasn't there, I don't know what happened, but the conviction was appealed and affirmed by the Superior Court of Pa. Heinous crimes, like child abuse, aren't acceptable to any employer. And lost blamed me (her future ex-husband) for not getting hired. There are always 3 sides to any story, your side, my side, and the TRUTH. Lost will never accept responsibility for her actions and hence will never prosper in life. 10 years in jail taught lost nothing, unless you count lieing, cheating and stealing as Job Skills.

Not all fellons are fellons because of being dishonest. A 4th time DUI can get you a fellony that is never expungable thanks to MADD! I feel fortunate that I didn't kill anyone. I have been sober for 4 years and can not find a job anywhere my back ground is IT and I'm currently getting my BS Information Technology. I made the same mistake 4 times, only the first 3 times I never paid the consequences for my actions the judges just took my money and granted me probation. When I received my 4th that is when my past came back to haunt me. What is going to happen is that this Country is going to have a lot of fellons running around jobless robbing and stealing causing the crime rate to increase. It's a vicious cycle and it will continue to grow because of the stupid laws that are governed by money and greed. By the way MADD is a 3 billion dollar a year business where do you think all that money is being spent?
