Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice. I have 7 years of fast food/retail experience and worked up to shift lead. In 2023 I received two misdemeanors that are affecting background checks, and I’m struggling to get hired. I’m currently working toward my cosmetology license and focused on moving forward. Are there companies open to second chances, or tips on addressing this in interviews?

If it’s coming up on a background check, best to be honest and transparent. Take responsibility, don’t blame others, and share what you’ve learned. Keep it to the facts and always end with what you are looking for now. Best of luck on the cosmetology licence, and you could potentially look at your local government sites, see if there are any second-chance-friendly companies in the area.

There are definitely companies out there that will still hire you. If I were you, I would walk into places that are local to you with your resume. Jobs are hard to find these days, and sometimes actually going in and speaking with the manager can really help.

I’d research specific companies that hire those with records. There are definitely employers out there who expressed their willingness to do so. However, even if you do have a record, an employer legally cannot deny you a position because of it, although you may not be aware of any prejudice unless directly stated
