    Exclamation Will My Shoplifting Records Affect Background Check

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NJ

    Hi,
    Caught shoplifting 22 month ago, 4th degree, and fingerprinted, I didn't know what to do and plead guilty, and left the court by paid some money. I am not US citizen, and I don't have SSN and driving license at that time, but they saw my passport.

    And now I am planning to get a job, I have been worried about this in my background check, if asked "Have you ever been conviced of crime?" What should I answer? Anything I can do now?

    Very appreciated!

    I'm going to ask something that can impact you much more seriously.

    What's your current immigration status?

    Yes, the criminal record will show up on your background check

    Yes, it could mean not getting the job.

    Yes, it could mean getting fired if you lie about it and the employer finds out later.
