Question

I was on probation forvandalism and I also got caught stealing at wal-mart can i still get a job?stilla minor?

Answer 1

You can still get a job but good luck finding someone who will hire you.

Answer 2

i dont know.  but i do know that i wouldnt hire you.

Answer 3

Keep up the good work and you will wind up at the Big House when you get a little older.

Answer 4

Yes, don't lie on your application. If it is brought up in the interview be honest about it. Just know that many employers don't like hiring people with a bad background.  

Answer 5

as long as you didnt kill some one or rob the local bank of america i think your good. and if they ask you about it make it seem like no big deal and nothing ever happend.  

Answer 6

If you're a minor, assuming you're under age 18, your record will be sealed so when you go to apply for a job it won't be in criminal background. If it does come up, be honest about it. They'd rather hire someone with a criminal history who is honest as opposed to someone who lies about it.

Answer 7

Maybe.  Juveniles don't get convicted of crimes, they get adjudicated. Because of that,if the application asks if you have ever been convicted, and all you have are juvenile cases, you can say no.  Be warned, however, that if the employer finds out about the adjudication, they may not consider the two things to be different.  They can fire you because you said No to the question.  Actually, in all but one state, and it's almost the same there, you can be fired for no reason at all.  The employer can decide he doesn't like your shoes, and can legally fire you.

The next issue in looking for a job will be the background search that some employers do on new hires.  It's possible, even if all your charges are juvenile charges, that they will show on a background search.  It depends on ho thorough the search is, what company does it, the nature of your charges, and what state you're in.  In some states, certain juvenile offenses are open to the public to know.  If they are felony charges, or you have more than a certain number of related charges, the public is allowed to know.  Since I don't know what state you're in, I don't know if your charges are the kind that can be released to the public.

Basically, you have to take your chances.  You'll probably be able to get a job.  Probably.  There's always that chance, however.
