Felony

I have 2 felonys in the state of Oregon. I am now liveing in Idaho. I would like to know if when applying for a job and they do back ground check would it just be for what state you are liveing in? or all states? I really need to know. thank-you...

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.

never had a felon sorry

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.

the background check will cover all the us and if you dont put it down and they find it it is over cause then they can chare you with fraud or they can in ky

can a person with a felonies on his backgroung have a career in real estate in the state of IL?

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
