Anyone know of any places hiring in Anchorage, AK that won't completly write me off as a potentional canidate due to a background check? I've been in customer service/retail sales for 20+ years now in many different industries and I'm great at it. Unfortunately my one mistake I made while helping in-laws and supporting my family is biting me in the ass. Seems like every job I'm a perfect fit for says no once they go on CourtView without letting me even explain why I have what's there.

Can I ask what happened?

Look into an “expungement”.

Good luck

Try a remote job!

I would also maybe mention your situation during the interview process, but emphasize why you’re a perfect fit using your qualifications and skills as a way to show you are trying to live and work as a “normal” citizen. I have gotten jobs out of my league by simply acknowledging my weaknesses/lack of qualifications by providing solutions for the hiring manager other than turning me down. Best of luck!

You can go the expungement route if that doesn’t work though just make sure to bring it up early in the conversation before they do a background check.
