I have been charged with two misdemeanor charges. 1 for possession of marijuana and one for ecstasy. I may be looking for an internship to a few pretty good companies next summer and will be looking for a full time job to a place such a GE in about 3 years. From what I understand the charges get off of your record in 2 years but I will be looking for an internship before that.
Do companies typically do a background check for interns? Also even though they would be off my record when im looking for a job, is it common for high paying jobs to track charges like this because i know that there are probably ways to find out even if they are no longer on my record.
