Hi, i was caught shoplifting at a drugstore type place with my friend-we stole about $10 worth of merchaindise each. We were each given a citation for juvenile retail theft and we each paid a fine of $102 plus civil damages of $220.02. I didn't go to the non-mandatory court appearance but I did pay the ticket and the civil damages. I am now applying for a job and I would like to know if i have to tell them that i was caught-either on the application or in the interview. During my last interview I told the interviewer that I had been caught and the refused to continue with the interview. I have another interview tomorrow and I would like to know if they ask me it in the interview or if they make me fill out more papers do I have to answer yes or can I say no without getting fired/not getting the job for misrepresentation? (Bear in mind that when i filled out the application they didn't ask for criminal history on the application) But I am also applying for many jobs and a lot ask you to list your criminal history on the application and I don't know if i have to answer yes or no. Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thank You very much-Katie
P.S- i am 16 and located in WI![]()
