Ann Arbor, Michigan
Hello, when I was 18, I received a minor in possession of alcohol ticket, completed probation, and the case was diverted. I am now 22 years old and looking for information on what I am required to divulge to employers.
My first problem is that I am looking to work as both a graduate assistant and a residential adviser for a public university. I remember my probation officer told me of several situations where I would have to reveal the sentence, and I vaguely remember employment by a school was one of the situations. I am unable to find information on the situations where this information becomes public.
My second problem is that I have a job offer to work for a private company that receives government contracts after I graduate this fall. To work for this company, I would have to obtain an "ordinary secret" clearance. Am I eligible to obtain this clearance with roughly 20 thousand in student debt from a private bank and the conviction on my record? I have no other potentially disqualifying problems that I can think of.
I thank you guys in advance for taking time out of your day to answer my questions. I also will cross post this to the juvenile section in hopes of receiving answers from a different specialty of lawyers.
