Speeding

Help!! I’m scared of what my juvenile record will show! Please…help me!?

Here’s the situation: I am applying for a wonderful job that I am just absolutely thrilled about…there’s just one problem–a FBI background check is a part of the pre-employment process. Now, I was a wild child..I stole things, and had ALOT of speeding tickets–but I NEVER spent time in jail..nothing of that sort..the last conviction I had was when I was 18..for stealing clothes with a group of friends (I think my 4th misdemeanor charge…)..after that, all the craziness stopped. I am now 23, and I would hate it if my “juvy” history could possibly ruin a great opprotunity! Although, I was pulled over for a broken tail light and found out that I had TWO warrants for unpaid speeding tickets..was arrested, fingerprinted, and released within two hours..but that was almost two years ago….

Don’t worry about it. They only care about felonies and you don’t have any. Nothing will come up. I know people who have had background checks with drunk driving warrants and still nothing came up. If you don’t get the job, it’s not because of a previous criminal record. Good Luck
