What is the name of your state? MA, but resides currently in NH
Okay, I am up for a job opportunity, but the problem is, the employer is going to do a background check. The job does consist of handling money. What exactly is included in a background check. Will they check my credit?
First of all my credit sucks because I don't have a job and I have been laid off more than once, due to company failure. Second of all I was a terrible teenager and ended up being arrested once for a fault of missing a court date AND I plead guilty to a misdemeanor for shoplifting about $50 in clothing, which resulting in one years probation.
My first question is how long do these things stay on record? The offense happened when I was 18 and I am now 26 in two months. Second, what does a background check include for employment?
Second, should I come clean or just lie and hope that the offense and arrest won't be on my record? I've lied in applications before about it and still got the job.
Bah! What the heck should I do?
