I was convicted of driving on a suspended license out of state and now I'm looking for a new job. Do I include that on the Conviction Report?

Only if you are applying for a driving job, other than that it is no concern to them

Check with the court. If it was a traffic violation, then you normally don't have to report it unless they specifically stated that you must include traffic violations. However, all misdemeanor and felony convictions must be revealed unless they ask otherwise. In most states, driving while under suspension IS a misdemeanor at the very least; it is NOT a traffic citation!

I don't think that is just a traffic violation. That is an actual misdemeanor or more (at least in my state it is).
It depends on the question they ask you. Did they ask if you've ever been convicted of a crime? Then, you must answer yes. If they ask specifically if you've ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony, then you need to find out if those apply to your conviction.
Finally, if they are going to run a background check on you, they will find out anyway. Plus, you don't want to lie and risk getting fired anyway.

Unless the nature of employment specifically involves you driving then no you do not have to include it. It is not a Felony. However if the job requires that you drive during working hours (for example a school bus) then yes you have to because they will check.

yes because you were convicted but you usually have room to explain and if the job doesnt require driving you may be ok as long as you have a reliable way to get to work

site visitors violations are "technically" arrests, even if, they're "violations." those are very minor offenses of the site visitors guidelines. Misdemeanors are slightly diverse. Misdemeanors at the on the spot are not violations yet criminal offenses of a extra serious nature with a punishment of as a lot as 365 days in detention center. even although "violations" bypass on a motive force record...they don't seem on a "criminal" record like that of a misdemeanor or legal criminal offense!

Yes.
My cousin had the same thing happen to her and she didn't put it on her application and they did a check she ended up being fired and might have got something for lying on her application.

Depends on the job and if you will be required to drive or transport people. If so yes, if not no. Definitely if it is a DUI.

No, they're looking for felony convictions, which would mean you had been arrested.

Let's put it like this: Tell the truth. If they don't hire you because of it, then this isn't a place you want to work in, in the first place. Who wants to work with a judgmental boss?
