Answer 1

Hush Madam!  Most guys on construction sites have done SOMETHING they don't want trumpeted for all to hear.  It will simply not be an issue.  Just be aware, there is a recession on.

Answer 2

It won't be a problem at all. My brother went to prison for breaking someones jaw (self defence) and he came out at got a job scaffolding.

Answer 3

HI,

When I was younger I was in and out of trouble, now I am a maintenance manager incharge of 7 people, I have found if you are honest it allways helps. In the onstruction industry I do not think it will affet your son unless hes working in a hospital or school on a large scale.In the uk your record is cleared after 5 yrs for most offences unless you are found guilty again and the courts will then see your previos. Hpe this helps
