What will be the outcome of a criminal background check ?

Question

Will this charge show up even though the conviction has been pardoned? It will be 7 years since the conviction in October 2008. What will the prospective employer see in the background check? Is there any way to remove it all together?

FYI, It is not homicide, a major felony or any perverted crime.

Answer 1

Hi there.

If you live in the US you can run a check on your self to see what shows up maybe?

Just my 2cents worht of advice:)

Answer 2

well in austria all sexual abuse charges are taken off a record after 4 years the employer might ask if u have gotten help for these convictions and if there entirely true and if all goes well he shouldn't base u on ur past crimes but ur social skills and experience ur the profession  

Answer 3

Seven years since the conviction or seven years since you finished probation or whatever the court made you do?  That's the key factor.  Also, it depends on what state you're located in.  The industry standard for background checks is 7-10 years.  

If you are in the United States, pardoned may have different definitions as well depending on what state you are in.   Cases which are dismissed or expunged should ethically not be held against a person.  

Expungement is the only way to have it removed altogether.  Contact your attorney for details on that.
