    How to Answer Job Application Questions After a Deferred Drug Felony
    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California

    I have a felony charge for furnishing marijuana, but my charges will be sealed and dismissed in 1 year, i'm 15. Question is, how do i answer a question that says have you ever been arrested( i have), have you ever been convicted of a felony, or have you ever had a juvenile adjudication???? My PO sais i can put no on all of them and that she's checked some of her other kids records and was unable to find any record.

    California employers (with the exception of certain government positions or those requiring a security clearance) can NOT ask about arrests - only convictions.

    And how do you KNOW your charge will be sealed and dismissed in a year? I have heard that one before, and many people have been surprised to find that their records were not. In a year, have your parents check with the attorney and the court to make sure it has happened. In the meantime, unless you have NOT been convicted (or had a true finding in juvenile court) you will likely have to answer "yes" if asked if you have been convicted of a criminal offense.

    There are consequences to one's criminal actions.
