Background questions - larceny and bad checks

Well you defiantly have the right attitude. Most people would freak out and get all offended that someone dared to ask. GL to you sir.

 

That's good to know.

 

Good chance he could get that removed, if he wanted.

 

Being Charged and Convicted are 2 different things...Being Charged with something doesn't mean much What you are Convicted of is where you will have your problems...

 

Make sure you have all your paperwork in order regarding the nolle. If the only conviction you have on your record is the '04 petty larceny I think you will be OK with some companies. although most applications ask about convictions only, it still might be wise to be upfront about the felony charge which was dropped. Perhaps you can prepare a letter explaining the incident and attach with the nolle paperwork w/ your application.

 

I have a related question. When trucking companies run a background check on you, does that include a credit check?

To the OP, be carefull of what the school recruiters tell you. I called a school today and asked if my 4 year old DUI would be a problem. The person said no because its over 3 years old and they have a lot of local companies that would hire me, such as; Toy r us, coke, and pepsi. The person did disclose that there is no guarantee that I would be hired. I Lol'd because I seriously doubt that the big companies would hire with a dui on record. The smaller ones maybe.

 

Have it sealed/expunged. States that have a pretrial diversion/intervention/deferment all off the ability to expunge/seal the record. It helps that your aren't making excuses and are owning up to what you did. That can actually go along away with HR people.
