Background check for pre employment?

The company i applied for asked for misdemeanors or felonies in the past seven years, in the job application. They have told me the job is mine if I can clear the background check. I have an INFRACTION (much smaller than a misdemeaanor) of "theft of property" which is almost 7 1/2 years old. Would this still affect me? Ive lost opportunities in the past over this (but it was only 2-4 years old those times) do you think a jewelry store will hire me, given that its not a misdemeanor or felony and is past 7 years? Would that be illegal? Im CA, she told me not worry, but im just not sure.......

since its an INFRACTION i am unable to expunge it. Ive tried but the court said it must be a misdemanor or greater. ITS TOO SMALL TO REMOVE. but yet, big enough to come back....Ive tried.

All you can do is let them run the check. If I was hiring you, I would give you a break on it since it was 7 years ago. But, it's entirely up to them if they want to take a chance.

Have you ever looked into getting this record expunged? If it was your first offense you should be able to. Your lawyer just files a motion to have it expunged with the court, you pay a small fee, like $100, and it comes off your record.

I think the calender is on your side. However, this gave you something to think about didn't it???
You see, there are some things in life that if you do them, yousimply cannot make them go away, they will haunt you forever.

I think you learned that and will never forget it. I hope it all works out for you, and Good luck!!!!!!

If it was over 7 years you can truthfully answer no to the question.

And, no I do not think a jewelry store will hire you if it had anything to do with theft.

If you have a conviction it's either a misdemeanor or a felony. Those are the two categories. There is nothing "less serious"

I would always error on the side of caution by giving them to much information then not enough. I know as an hr person, I am more likely to give someone the benefit of the doubt if they are honest.

I think it shouldn't be a problem.
