Are you sure this is the reason why you can't get a break?
Most job applications ask if you were convicted of a felony, not so much a misdemeanor.
What was the misdemeanor for, if you don't mind me asking? A DUI? Usually that wouldn't be a big factor especially after 6 years because most employers take into consideration the amount of time that has past.
I guess it also depends on what kind of jobs you are applying for. Some positions require that your record be clean while others are more lenient. It really depends on the industry and employer you are trying to apply for.
I know this didn't help much. It's such a hit or miss situation.

Leave it off your resume.

A resume isn't a legal document, so the only sanction for lying is an employer's decision not to hire you. But if you lie on your resume, you'll have to repeat the false information on the company's job application, which is a legal document, and that can get you're fired.

For example..If you have a drunken driving conviction, you may have to disclose it on the job application. But read the application carefully. Some ask, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" In most cases, driving while intoxicated is a misdemeanor and therefore needn't be disclosed.

Inquire at the courthouse were the misdemeanor is from about getting your record expunged.

Do not lie on your resume as some may suggest. That is grounds for immediate dismissal should it ever be discovered. Not only will you be out a job, but try explaining to your next prospective employer that you were fired because you lied.

6 years ago? It would depend what the misdemeanor is for, for me to actually consider it for hiring you. Also what type of work are you looking at? anything with anything to do with credit agencies will always be tough for you to get with any record at all.

Try to look into having it expunged from your record or what you can do to get rid of it now, In most states you can petitions the court to expunge a misdemeanor after a certain number of years after you've finished whatever sentence you were given.

I greatly doubt your misdemeanor is the problem, unless you're applying for victim service jobs or something. Is your resume REALLY that great? Does it look professional? Are you applying for the right jobs? Are you dressing appropriately? Do you write a good cover letter? Are your references good? Maybe you need to check out Monster.com or some other similar place for some pointers. The fact is that you don't provide nearly enough information here for anyone to really help you.

Talk to a lawyer...you can get the record sealed or expunged - especially after 6 years. It then becomes a non-issue.

You'll have to share the details of your wayward days sometime {:)

A misdemeanor need not be mentioned or disclosed on your resume or to a potential employer. It's just a misdemeanor - no one cares. Leave it off your resume and applications. When they ask if you have any convictions say "no."

Was it something you did as a teenager or an adult? You need to talk to the court, stop and ask the clerk about what you could do to purge it from your record.
