Last year I attained a misdemeanor theft conviction that pops up in background checks. I have no problem attracting interviews, and I do excellent in them.

However, the employers won't proceed because of the theft conviction after they get the background check results. This was my first (and only) conviction, and there is nothing pending.

Any suggestions?

Hello bill.the answer to that is even though its a misdemeanor
charge,a lot of companies take that very seriously.The best way
to go is to see if you can get it taken off your record.I have the number to a attorney who can look at it.And if possible
have it removed for only 350.00dlrs.You may get back at me atlvscott420@yahoo.com

Well here is something that you can try. It an Criminal Record Expungement Kit you can do yourself. Most people don't even know you can have charges removed from your criminal record and don't know where to even begin the process. Hope it helps. It only is for Georgia.

Hi Lisa,

That's an interesting tidbit. Where does one obtain an expungement kit for Georgia? I'm having similar problems when it comes to background checks.

Thanks,

Diva Doll

I live in VA and having the same exact problem because of a fraud misdemeanor charge. Va is very strict. I am not able to have it expunged because I plead guilty. Not able to have the court records sealed. The only option is to ask the Governor for a simple pardon, which doesnt even remove from my record. I am female, in my 40's and only experience I have is clerical experience. I was wondering if anybody knows if I would be able to get a Real Estate License with a fraud misdemeanor charge in the state of virginia?

These expunged kits are all scams. Please don't get caught up in them and lose your money. There is nothing that you can do, but keep applying and hope for the best. A lot of people are looking and applying for jobs right now and employees have plenty to chose from. They would rather pick someone with clean records than have to deal with people with criminal backgrounds. Unfortunately, this is the price that you have to pay when you commit a crime, you lose the trust of society. Keep applying and keep praying. good luck.

I work in an entertainment venue and sometimes there are "security issues" usually fueled by alcohol.

Security often de-escalates the situation by warning the offender(s) that if the police are called, this will result in an arrest and that will haunt them til they die!

They usually listen to reason and calm down. But not always. Heh!
