How screwed am I?
I have a great job opportunity. It's a fairly easy job, and I'll be licensed to sell insurance and deal with finances. I found out that a background check will be ran on me, and I assume it'll be fairly extensive.
I've been charged with a federal crime and COULD have to do 5-10. It wasn't a violent crime or a sex crime, and didn't have anything to do with stealing money. What are the chances I'll get the job? Keep in mind... I've only been CHARGED (i don't know if that matters) |

Re: How screwed am I?
You've "been charged." Shall we assume you did it? Will you be convicted or don't you know yet?
Anyways, yes they will find out, and you're going ot have some explaining to do. I think it's very unlikely that you'll get this job. |

Re: How screwed am I?
If you've only been charged and haven't been convicted, I'm pretty sure that your employer has no right to find out about charges brought against you without a conviction (that whole pesky little "innocent until proven guilty" thing).
