well i think it depends what job you go for An employer is under no requirement to say "WHY" you didn't get a job. I honestly don't know whether you can or cannot. But I do know that I have more than one misdemeanor and have never been denied a job based on that fact. It depends on the company. As a matter of fact I had a Human Resources manager tell me one time "well, it's not like you killed someone or robbed a bank". As I said ALOT depends on the company. Also, anti-discrimination law (applies to some employers, not all) prohibits employers from considering (or asking about) arrests, but allows consideration of convictions, if the conviction relates to the job duties (don't hire a convicted embezzler to handle cash). Answer If you have been looking for a competitive job lately, you will notice that many applications ask about "Have you ever been convicted of any offense besides a minor traffic violation?" Answering "Yes" in this job market means you have to walk on water to go any further. There are so many people who can say "No" because they either didn't do it or didn't get caught. Like Denzel Washington said in "Training Day", "It's not what you know, but what you can prove." You're not likely to get a lot of sympathy from the general public who see eliminating candidates for any reason as good increasing the competitiveness of their loved ones. Ever think about that?

It depends upon the job you are applying for. You will be eliminated from certain positions but certainly not most. The jobs you will most likely have trouble with are jobs involving public trust such as law enforcement. Other things to consider are the type of misdemeanor you were convicted of. If the conviction was a domestic violence charge or firearms related charge, you may have more problems finding employment.
