i know a man who is the nicest person ever NOW. well he was back then but he had the worst temper for a##holes who bothered him. He lived in LA. etc... he got into a fite with a deadly weapon, knife? i tihnk and 'wounded this guy who went to the hospital and that guy pressed charges.. sentencing him to 3 yrs? yeah... now he has a family but b/c of the stupid things he did, his history has affected him from doing many things, specifically getting a good job.
If this is a blue collar job, like a friggin factory.. and the application says have u had a criminal conviction? wud it matter if he put no? lol i dont think they wud consider him if he put yes. but if you put no do those cheap factories go in and do a check anyway????.hes a goodman but you know he cant fite this. for this mistake.
what do you think.

If they were to hire him despite that record the company would be liable the next time that he thinks a fellow factory worker is an a##hole bothering him and he stabs that worker.
Fair or not that is how companies think. Maybe he can find a small organization that would try but big companies don't want the risk.

This realy depends on Where he lives, and where he was convicted. Most localy owned companies only run county criminal search. Larger companies will run state, and National companies will either be state or national, in most cases still just the state the person resides in. Also does the application specify convicted of a crime, or convicted of a felony. If the applicant puts no on the application, and lives in the same county of the conviction, well even if he had a chance at the job, falsified application turns that into a big no. If he was convicted and resides in the same county then on the details portion of the application I would put only self defense, and if they want details they will ask in the interview.

Depends on the company and the industry. Some industries are regulated and often a requirement is that companies in that industry cannot hire people with criminal records, among other things. Obviously the company can have a policy that they will not hire people with criminal histories if they want to, and violent crimes are especially tough to overcome.

Whatever you do, don't lie, they will find out through a background check. Just be honest, and do the best you can to get enough education to make it look like you've turned yourself around.
