Criminal background checks will usually cover every crime you've ever been convicted of (from misdemeanor up) in the U.S.

Two felonies will most CERTAINLY show up.

Hello, my brother had a felony 20 years ago and moved to California. He stated that he did not have a problem getting a job once he moved out of state because they do a background check where you are presently located. Recently he had a misdemeanor and it was committed in another county and his attorney stated that she pulled up his background in the city and since his crimes were over 20 years old the court could not use it against him or bring up any old dirt. But I silently looked on because he had been arrested since then in another county in the state about 6 years ago. If an attorney will have a hard time finding out a person's background, after 7 years of college education, then an employer without a degree in law will most surely have a problem. If you can avoid giving your employer your previous address in Idaho then do it. In order to become a productive member of society a person has to work, but no one wants to hire a person with a felony, as a result some either startup their own businesses or unfortunately contribute to the increasing crime rates of their cities because of lack of job opportunities for felons.

I have a felony on my record and had no problem finding a job within another state. the truth about background checks is this. Many major Fortune 500 companies do national background checks and very thorough.. however some only do statewide checks. you can tell the type of check they are going to do on the form they give you. It also states on there how far back they are looking. some are 7yrears and some are full history.
**Most non-proft dont do background checks or drug tests. Keep in mind that these tests are very expensive for the companies. The smaller the company the better chance you have to being hired without problem. Most smaller companies and private owned companies dont want to spend the money on full checks and disclosure.

Hope this helps

Try blowing the person who is doing the background check. This will certainly help because they will want to hire you after that. If you do a good job anyway.

You cant get a job...OR, an apartment with a felony conviction in the USA. I personaly think it should be illegal to decline a felon for housing. The USA is a humility, its a joke, im getting the hell out of here s soon as my buddy gives me visa sponsorship for the Pinas. This country is down right screwy, I cant even think of a word to properly described this country. Its a mess! I personly dont want to cause any harm to anyone in anyway. But I do wish something would overthrow this government and establish a new order in where freedom does actualy exist. We are all beeing lied to everyday, some people accept it, some dont want to accept it but have no other option. That is what this country is all about; to make the citizens of The United States think they have an option, bbut in all reality never had an option from the geko.

why don't you tell them you have it? it has worked for me. if they find out later that you didn't disclose it you could loose your job. most of the time if they ask if you have one it doesn't mean you won't get the job, but it is one of those touchy things and I don't know what your charge was. normally with a drug charge you can still get any job. with a money charge it is a little harder if you are trying to work with money, but like things that hurt other people like battery etc. those ones would probably be the hardest ones. but if its a drug charge I'd say your good to go.

I live in Massachusetts and recently had my background checked. I do have a felony in another state and it did NOT come up on the check. Indeed, I have since learned that most firms only check the area you live in.
