Hi, Tammy - Just list the conviction and the year, unless you had a sealed record. A conviction doesn't have to hold you back. Each state is different, but in NY, the hiring manager has to decide if the conviction is related to the job and if it's still relevant. To give you an example, the hiring manager may not want to hire a convicted embezzler to handle the finances for the company, but might want to hire someone with a conviction for a minor amount of marijuana that occurred 10 years ago if the position was unrelated. Just be honest on the application. If you're not, they'll find out and disqualify you. Answered by sybAge : 53 1 month ago Edit Delete Vote 0 Answered by syb 1 month ago
Tammy The wording should be honest and forthright. You need to check yes and then proceed to tell your story in detail of what happened in the past and how you've changed. Also take the opportunity to share why you would be the best person for the job and why you want to work for them. If you want to write a draft and post it, I would be willing to look it over and offer some suggestions. Keep the faith.
