Job Application ?? on misdemeanor
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

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

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!
