Most places now do a background check. I've known of people fired from jobs, in a lot of places because they lied on their applications about felonies. It may just be here in Atlanta, but it's really bad here. Every temp agency I've checked into does a background check....even the day labor ones. I'm STILL trying to get the darned felony off my record.

I would probably leave it blank. That way, at least you have a chance to get an interview before you have to explain it.

The one thing that keeps me going, is back in my old home AA group, I knew a nurse who had 14 felonies, let her nursing license go, and has it back and is doing case management in a nursing home.

Hugs and prayers!
