What is the name of your state? CA
I was arrested when i was 19 for petty theft. I was put through a diversion program, and now that I am 22 I am looking for a job in financial services. i was told that they do extensive background checks including fingerprint scans, and my arrest record will come up. i was never found guilty, but if they see the police report thye will assume i was guilty. what should i do? should i write down on my job application that I was arrested, even though I was not convicted or charged. Since I took a diversion program, doesnt that mean i wasnt charged or was i? I am very worried i'll never find work. Please get back to me.
p.s. I am from san diego, california, if that will help you answer my question
