    I have a misdemeanor that occurred in 2009. I expunged it from my records in 2013 however Google search said it never truly goes away. It’s something I wish to never have to mention again, however I still do in my job application in case the background check shows it. I’m from California and currently applying to some firms. Please help!

    I feel your pain.

    I also have some idiotic past discrepancies in my background circa 2001.

    I just disclose it if asked. Some people have a real problem and others do not.

    BEC - 85
    FAR - 86
    REG - 84

    Well, read real closely at the job application that you fill out. They usually tell you right there, what needs to be disclosed and not. Not saying you don't read.. but this same situation happen to a friend of mine, he did not disclose something, and he was sweating bullets for 2 weeks.. Finally, head of HR decided to let his manager's manager, and the manager's manager's manager decide if they want him to stay or not.. Luckily he was a nice guy, who smiled a lot, so they allowed him stay.

    Basically, application said don't disclose things that were ‘dismissed'. Which my friend, although got a final judgment on the case, it was NOT dismissed. He was given a fine, and he paid it. His argument was, he thought it was dismissed. One thing surprising was, when he pulled up his record on a public database, the word ‘dismissed' is actually shown on there. So he argued that he “thought” it was dismissed. But fact is, he just didn't disclose it, cuz he thought it wouldn't show up, since it was close to 6 or 7 years ago.

    BEC: 69, 57, 72, 73, (anticipated for 4/4/2015)
    AUD: 65, 63, 74, 84!!! (expires 7/31/2015)
    FAR: 63, 57, (scheduled for 4/1/2015)
    REG: ... 42, (Anticipated to be around 5/20~)

    hahahah no i don't work with kids. The application just states “Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony?” I guess I'll just keep marking yes.
