So i have a petty theft from when i was 18 years old i am now 23 and the charge was "withheld adjudication". Anyways i was just recently called for an interview last thursday and got the job. I started on sunday and tomorrow will be my 4th day. On friday i went in to do tax forms and permission for background check. Withhold adjudication means i was NOT convicted of the charge and a question on the backfround said have i ever been convicted of a misdemeanor. I answered no becauae i havent.. Anyways im getting super nervous because i really need this job. So my question is, did they already get the background check back or can i be fired because of the arrest? I got a written arrest and btw i was young and dumb hanging out with the wrong people and i took a 3 dollar nail polish and got caught. I know stupid me.
these days you can be arrested for anything but not convicted. Your job will more than likely see a arrest but doesnt know if you were convicted or not. I would be upfront honest at any job. I have a bunch of misdimeanors. The cops here in tx will slap resisting arrest charges on you if they cant find anything to put on u.
