when completing an application for employment I am asked if I have been convicted of a felony. It does not say Juvenile felony so can I honestly say no to that question if I was convicted of a Juvenile felony? I do not want to lie and I want the job really bad. Does the question on the employment application only pertain to my Adult life from the age 18 on ? any help with this would be great, I really do not want to miss out on this opportunity.
If I have a juvenile felony conviction do I need to say yes on employment applications if asked about felonies
Juvenile records are not automatically wiped away in most states when the accused person reaches the age of the majority.
You have to petition to have your criminal record sealed or expunged at a later date. However, many juvenile defendants aren't aware of the importance of making this petition. Consequently, many juveniles do not make this petition, and their juvenile histories remain a part of their criminal records.
Please apply to jobs after doing this !
Reply:No. Some employers, generally certain government agencies, can view your juvenile record, but they will usually specify what you need to tell them about on their application. Otherwise, most employer have no access to that record.
Reply:you do not have to answer that thats wiped clean
