I have interviewed those who check the box and, sometimes, depending on the circumstances, I've hired them. On the flipside, if I've found that an employee lied on the application about being convicted, they've been fired right away with no questions. An employer has the right to discharge someone based on a lie on their application, so it's always best to tell the truth.
I made a mistake years ago and was convicted. I've been fortunate that it hasn't come up to really prevent me from getting a job, but I always tell the truth.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aND6B
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

I have worked in human resources and have caught people lying on an application and they have been fired for it. Check the box and write that you will explain in the interview or attach a short summery of what and when you were convicted for. Never lie on an application, you could lose a great job over it.

Funny. I just heard a story (somebody I know) of someone who marked NO when in fact he had a drunken driving conviction. He got an offer, quit his current job and and was ready to move the family across the country while background check was conducted. The conviction showed up on the report and and the offer was taken back. It doesn't happen often, but it does.

When I was working for an stock broker, some one they hired check no. You need to bonded, so there was finger prints were taken. Their finger print came back, they could not be bonded.
He did something as a minor, thought it was easier from his record. So the answer is yes
