How to deal with my criminal background past hauting me?

I just got downsized after over ten years on a job and perhaps I have been living in a “silo” …background checks were not an issue when I applied for my last job. Now after 30 years of work, no gaps etc. I get turned down for old misdemeanors which I had totally forgot about and put them in the past. Now I have to drudge up a tramatic time of my life and explain behaviors that I am ashamed of regardless of how I have lived my life. Does not seem fair, anybody else been through this and have advice for me.

Answer #1

Usually when companies do background checks they go through agencies which are by law not allowed to report anything that is 7 years or older and 10 years for bankruptcy. You should get a copy of any background check that is done on you and I would see where they got the info from and contact them to see why it is still being reported.

Answer #2

sigh My Uncle has the same problem. he dropped out of High School,he didnt go to College,He got jailed for Stealing,and Possession. By Law,If asked for a backup,It is legal for any hiring job to turn you down based on your background check. im sorry =/
