    Exclamation Finding Out What Will Show Up On A Background Check

    My question involves a background check in the State of: Indiana

    Hello;

    I am a paralegal student who will soon be looking for a position, preferably working for the state I live in, KY.

    I do have a few misdemeaners...traffic stuff mostly, but I can't remember when exactly they were, and what the charges were. They occured in Indiana, in a couple of different counties.

    How can I find out what they are, before applying for a job, and potentially (accidentally) lying on the application?

    Tia!!

    A "few" misdemeanors!? Like how many? Why is it you don't recall them. Open your purse purchase a background check on yourself

    Because they were silly things like seatbelt violations, which I just paid and moved on. A few, as in, maybe three? Not sure. I really didn't think something like that would be a big deal. *doh*

    If they do a criminal background check, you should expect that they will detect your criminal record.

    Seat belt violations would typically be civil infractions, not misdemeanors.

    Your working at being in Law and you don't know the difference between infraction (seal belt violations) and misdemeanors!?

    When completing employment applications, read the questions carefully (how they are worded) & answer truthfully - do not lie. If you lie, you will not get the job for sure or will be terminated if they find out you lied after hired.
