3. What Will Employers Ask About My
Criminal Records?
•For most employers and licensing agencies, it is
illegal to ask about arrests and criminal records
that were not followed by a conviction. Questions
like “Have you been arrested before?” are illegal
questions and it is also illegal for employers to ask
about dismissed cases that were in your favor like
declines to prosecute and voided arrests. If you
have criminal records when you were a teenager
like juvenile delinquent are also illegal.

4. Should I Tell the Truth About My
Criminal Records?
• Yes.Always tell the truth even if it is tempting to lie
and hope that your employer doesn’t find out about
your criminal records, it is highly unlikely since
employers today are running scans on criminal records
and background checks so they will find out one way
or another. If you leave out a blank or you lie or even
leave out some information, the employer may reject
you as a candidate for the job or fire your because you
were lying or did not answer completely. Even if your
criminal records are not bad, you can be disqualified.
