How do you explain your felony conviction on a job application?

In: Job Applications, Criminal Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you are given the opportunity to explain the offense, do so in as simple and brief terms as possible and try to minimize the seriousness or the violence (if any was involved) of it, and convey to the interviewer that you have learned your lesson. In other words BE HUMBLE.
