A few weeks ago my friend was telling my about her son. WE will call him Mike to keep his name confidential. He had been out of work due to the bad economy for 2 YEARS!!! That’s right 2 years looking for a job to feed his family and find a home. He finally after much hard work on his part he found the best job that was going to pay more than he ever dreamed of. After applying and traveling for each interview they told him he had the JOB!!!
Two days later he received a phone call from this employer stating that he had not put his criminal history on his application. Uh oh!!! Mike thought that since his misdemeanors that he committed 20 years ago would not be applicable anymore. Well….the employer did a THOROUGH background check on Mike and did look back in his history past 20 years and unfortunately had to decline the position that was offered to him.
I told my friend that Mike should go to FindMyRecord.com and get a background check and check eligibility to get his records removed. That he has had a clean record for years not to mention decades. Mike had no idea that one could petition the courts to have a misdemeanor removed from his criminal history. After all this was in the PAST and he admittingly was still doing dumb teenager things in his 20’s.
Find My Record was able to help him in the expungement process and now Mike can go in confidentally filling out applications and land the employment he deserves, which is a second chance! He can provide for his family and buy a house, with a CLEAR criminal record history AND a CLEAR conscience knowing he is being completely honest with his future employers.
Good Luck Mike and we wish the best! Thanks for letting FMR help you!
Remember don’t go looking for a job for 2 years to only find out that you will be denied employment because of past criminal records. Get that record expunged. Find out if your eligible NOW!!!! Get that record removed as soon as possible so you don’t let anything stand in your way and your future employer.
