Um, I'm glad you have a job opportunity and all but, if it were me, I'd be spending every possible moment over the next year learning how to fight.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm basically positive there is no federal law that prohibits an employer from:

- asking you if you've ever been arrested.

[/ QUOTE ]

Asking about arrest records has been viewed by the courts as a violation of anti-discrimination laws, since arrestees are overwhelmingly minorities.

My job will be part time, and it's completely based on comission. I will be helping people get out of debt, rolling over their 401k's to mutual funds and other stuff like that. I will also be selling life insurance.

Maybe he was kidding (he told the whole group), but he said it was an FBI background check.

(prolly wasn't kidding) DOH!

the more I think about it... I want to bail on the situation. I'm supposed to meet tomorrow to fill out the application, but I'm starting to think that it's not a winning proposition.

Yup... Just decided. Not filling out the application. Shoutout to DespotInExile for helping me come to this conclusion.

Early,
Lando

Sounds a lot like Primerica or some other MLM insurance deal. Definitely not worth it.

If it is Primerica, run as fast as you can away from them.

Im sorry to be a dick, but in my experience, anybody who gets a federal indictment slapped on them is pretty damned guilty.

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)

I am a registered sex offender, so instead of working I just deal drugs and play poker

Jesus, why would you want to be a financial advisor? Those people are the used car salesmen of the financial world.
