So, I'm a temp working in the government and am interested in applying for the position I am temping in. The problem is I'm scared because while going through a divorce with my husband he filed false charges against me, dropped them later on but they are still on my record. They are criminal charges (second degree assault). How will this play out when they run my background check? What are the chances of them still hiring me if I am open and honest on my application? OR should I just not apply for the position? PLEASE HELP! I am a good woman who was dealing with a spiteful husband and now I have these charges on my record that will follow me forever. Will the government hire me anyway? OR..??

First, assault and battery against a family member or simple assault and battery is only a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia. Second, if you were not convicted, it's not a record. The laws concerning state background checks in VA start out "shall not hire for compensated employment persons who have been convicted of " and starts listing the felonies. You already have experience in the position, you seem intelligent, and you haven't been convicted of any felonies. You'll get the job.
EDIT: Ok... just browsed your questions. The assault charge won't hurt your chances... the chronic might. lol

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNSHw
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.

No problem what so ever. The fact of the matter is, when they do a criminal background check, they are checking your past to see if there is any outstanding warrants, reasons you could be bribed, or tenancies to commit crimes. The biggest thing is when you fill out the form, be completely and totally honest. Because they will be much more forgiving of a violation if your honest about it, and they will not forgive you when you are being dishonest. Everyone that works for the government does not have perfect records, and this is a very minor event, that won't even send up a red flag. Good luck.

What I would do is explain this upfront to the people you are applying with. I am not sure if they will show up since he dropped the charges, you may want to perform a background on yourself before you apply for the job, you can generally do them online or through a private company. Anyway, the key is to admit to what happened and explain in detail to the employer what happened. If it is not a felony then the will probably hire you. Did they do a background check when you got hired for your temp position?? Just be honest and you should be okay, I can't guarentee it, but you should be. :)

no longer an excessively distinctive Q. There are legislations on the books that forestall discrimination: I help those legislations. Having been a sufferer of discrimination i will make it easier to realize it sucks. yet, i'm no longer wakeful of the federal government telling any producer who to lease. in case you're taking approximately bailed out businesses, they're in charge for their financial disaster, no longer the federal government. administration would have run a competent producer and did no longer. desire the federal government's funds - play their game.

If criminal charges were dropped, you do not have a criminal record. Apply for the job you want. If the government has a question about your background, they will ask you.
