How does one explain his criminal background to a future employer?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

typically an employer only wants to know about felony convictions within the past 7 years. you should be honest, because they will find out anyways. not all crimes will bar you from all positions, but some might. for instance if you want to work for the ATF, but have felony possesion of firearms charge, you will probably not be eligible.
