- antoncohen 6y agoHave you ever filled out an actual job application in the US? I'm pretty sure every job application I've filled out until San Francisco passed the Fair Chance Ordinance has asked if I have any convictions, and some have asked about arrests (which is crazy). And every job I can remember has done a background check.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agowait what's a "job application"?
- smolder 6y agoAs opposed to figuratively...?
- Tostino 6y agoEvery single job, since my first dish-washing, has asked this question. The forms HR gives me now when I need to hire ask it too even if I disagree with asking it.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoI've never seen a basic job application without it. Fast food asked. Half the places do a drug test as well, some of them (call centers and commericial foodservice) did drug tests, including random hair follicle tests. You either haven't worked bottom-of-the-barrel jobs or lived in areas where this sort of thing wasn't allowed.
- billh 6y agoMy last job application asked not only about felony conviction but also wanted to know if I've ever been arrested before.
