Past convictions are past convictions!! Felons need to make a living too!!
Why is this important?
I have a great work history of 11 years within one company. Last year I was laid off due to a conversion and centralization within the company I worked for. When I wanted to return to work, I was told that the company would only look 10 or 7 years back. I have a felony conviction from 1996. I applied for a job that said they would only check 7 years back. I was hired but fired after 1 week when they said they found something on my record from 1996!! I am 39 credits away from my bachelor's degree in Accounting. How can I get a job?!!!
