I am applying for a job and one question is have i been convicted of a crime. I have a "Disturbing the Public" about 1 year ago for getting in a little fight outside a bar. I believe it is considered a misdemeanor. My question is should I even right this on the application? or just leave it out? They state that they will do a background check for all new employees. I know it is not a serious crime but i dont want it to affect the chance of me getting a job. Thanks

 

"creating a disturbance" i ment

 

I'm fairly sure misdemeanors arn't crimes. I wouldn't even worry about stating it.

 

it says to state misdemeanor and felony convictions..... i dont know what to do

 

If it asks to state misdemeanors, I would do it. They're going to find out about it anyway.

 

lol, next time refuse to sign your speeding ticket and you'll see how quick that misdemeanor lands you in jail. disclose cuz the background check will show it and you'll get fired for lying.

 

f it i will put it down. It was only a penalty of $75. They shouldn't care to much about that.

 

Something like that shoudlnt effedt a job, because that could be a range from yelling or fighting to playing music loud, etc, its not a very serious offense.

 

I had something similair happen, nothing serious, but didn't think to mention it cause it looked bad, then of course they found out, and it looked bad like I was trying to elude them. The interviewer asked why I hadn't just put it down, now I was questionable becuase I was dishonest........I didn't really think anything of it, but I guess they did. So, put it down, and if asked, be truthfull. Say it was a scuffle in front of a club and you got a ticket....no biggie.

 

most of the time there lookin for specific convicted crimes, for example if ur applyin at a bank and u have theft under 50 or robbery that u served time for years back....common now ur not gonna even get looked at twice. that charge is as simple as a traffic ticket. dont worry bout it, 99% sure they will be lookin for charges that would affect the work environment. leave it out!
