I am a recent grad trying to brake into the industry. The problem is i have somewhat of a criminal background. My charges are drug related. Possession, under the influance, and such. But they are old charges. Between 13 and 20 years old. Should i be Listing these on my applications? My understanding was that companys go back 10 years. But recruters are telling me thay go back a lifetime. Can anybody tell me the truth.

If you go to Canada its a lifetime check and they wont let you in. With that being said just answer the questions honestly on the App's.

If the question says :any felonies in the last 7 years then thats a no

If it says : Have you ever had a felony, thats a yes

Hazmat and especially TWIC will check out lifetime but your charges probably wont disqualify you from getting them.

they only check the last 10 years even if its a third party conducting the search for the company plus they can only report convictions not arrests
