Liars, Cheaters, and Scoundrels

If you have a felony conviction, or a few dozen, there are jobs where your charge is not directly relevant to the position, and by all means, you should be able to work. You know what jobs you shouldn't apply for. Mr. multiple counts of possessing child pornography....I will not be placing you at a hospital with children. Please don't even attempt to apply to my job when you know it is not a good match. I will find your history and I will tell you "absolutely not" as I did yesterday.
Mr. multiple counts of forgery and theft...same goes for you. I can't believe you thought my background check wouldn't catch your felony convictions. I told you three times that this position required a criminal background check and you told me three times that you had no felony convictions. You think crossing a state line will obscure your conviction?
Fun day yesterday.
Should go ahead and warn those who enjoy an occasional or frequent illicit drug....when we have a position requiring pre-employment drug screening, that drug use WILL show up. Please don't waste my time with your stories of glaucoma at 30. My MRO doctor will check your legitimate prescriptions and know if you're as stoned as the villan in the courtyard.
