[QUOTE="Droosies, post: 811184, member: 33726"] I was charged as an adult so it still shows up in background checks. Also, I didn't dressed as a gangster. I don't even own any "gangster clothes". I dressed for the job. Long-sleeve shirt, work pants, shoes, belt, combed hair, freshly shaven. I was up front with the charge, didn't deny it, admitted I was just a stupid kid and was trying to move on with my life. The sad fact is that there are THOUSANDS of people in my situation. It doesn't matter what the offense is, but as soon as employers see that "Yes" box checked, it doesn't matter, the application goes into the garbage. I even explained to the interviewer that I was looking for a lifetime position. I understood that because of my situation, opportunities were going to be few and far between, so I was willing to do whatever was asked of me in order to become the best "whatever" I was. Seems to me that's a solid quality she wouldn't get with most people. [/QUOTE]
