I dont know if Im just not getting it or what. I have a drug charge on my record and when I apply for a job do I have to put down that I have a felony? Every application I have ever filled out has asked specific 'Have you ever been convicted of a felony and if so please explain'. Plus I have huge gaps in employment like 10 years so I could be a stay home mom. Plus every single time I get a job I get sick and am hospitalized. No kidding. Anyway, should I put on there that I have a felony? Or do I leave it blank? What do employers look for and how many do background checks? I know a big chain like Walmart and Target do and almost every nursing facility will do a check too. That is the 2 things Im really trained in doing. What college skills I have are only a year secretarial that I didnt finish cause I got really really sick and had surgery, so that is pretty much obsolete. I have to go back to work and have been looking for a job. I just dont know how to fill out an application.
