Depending upon the type of business, someone with a felony may not be able to meet the security requirements. Many businesses are required to maintain certain security levels and are prohibited from hiring felons. The conviction does not 'expire' and stays on the record.
If you currently have a felony, you may certainly be one of the last on the list, but an employer cannot discriminate, they have to at least consider you
Employers can refuse to hire anyone for any cause. Just because you are qualified does not mean that they must hire you and nobody else.
That is up to the employer. If you had a felony at 18, good luck finding a bank that will hire you at 40. A lawn care service might let you push a mower if you got out of jail last week.
A felony never goes away. Whether it hinders employment is going to depend on the specific employer. Some will not be able to hire you at all.
My felony was over 7 years ago and halliburton did not hire me..
There are many companies that do not hire a person if they have a felony conviction. However, there are companies that will hire a felon. A person has to apply for jobs until they find a company that will hire them.
The employer is under no obligation to hire you, the job applicant.
You must be at least 18 years-old or older.
Where are you? In this state no employer is forced to hire any particular applicant.
No. Child labor laws state that an employer can not hire anyone under the age of 16. So, you have to be 16 or older.
An employer can hire or not hire based on almost any criteria they choose, as long as it does not violate any discrimination law.
Felonies do not necessarily disqualify you from getting a job. You may however, have a smaller chance of getting hired than a law abiding citizen as employers will see the felony on your record.
