who cares and just lie... if you dont get the job then move on to the next one.. if you do get the job then they find out later, at least you made some money in the mean time... and if you are a good worker they just might keep you...
 
Lmfao op you really thought ur weed charge wasn't gunna show up on a background check lol that's why it's called a background check they are so thorough that they even dip into your credit score
 
It's best to just tell the truth brah.

Just tell then you were young and dumb
 
IT WONT SHOW UP IN CALIFORNIA
MAYBE if you are facing felony charges or under investigation.

Sorry jayfiend, doesnt work like that.
I have a felony conviction along with a few misdemeanors as well...
Moved to cali, caught a felony charge, they ran me and nothing came back.
(This has happened twice with 2 potential F charges)

Police, jobs and apartments all differ when doing background checks.
Police search for past convictions.
Jobs normally only do state-wide background checks unless its corporate.
Apartments check credit and evictions and even sometimes criminal history.

OH YEA OP....
WEED IS LEGAL IN CALI.
NOONE IS GONNA CARE ABOUT YOUR POSSESSION CHARGE IN VA.
Lol

Don't want to thread jack but how long do these take? I accepted a job offer on December 22 and I still haven't heard anything from them yet.

I don't think most jobs honestly check or care about misdemeanors. I got a few class A's and a couple B's and I work corporate for a former fortune company.

On top of that, I hired 3 ppl that I KNEW had misdemeanors since I been there. Fired 2 of em :lol
 
more than likely they won't care. if they ask you what's up, be honest.
 
It will most likely show up because most companies go back and look past 7 yrs.

Bigger corporations can look up past 10 yrs criminal background.

But its just a misdemeanor. You should be ok. If it was a felony, thats a different story. The big F can bar you from alot of jobs.
