You should be fine. I doubt they do extensive background checks. I just went through a rigorous background check for my role and I am in Finance, in a heavily regulated, highly scrutinized a field. FBI fingerprinting, had to rationalize my concealed carry permit, I had a charge-off credit card in 2010, two DUI’s (misdemeanor in my state) possession of a CDS charge in 2011 (decriminalized in my state), that I needed to rationalize.
Long story short, I got the job with this colorful past, so I think you’ll be okay!
Good luck in your new role!
Cheers!
That’s upsetting, that shouldn’t hinder your ability to care for animals. It could have to do with the employer, I would keep trying.
Depends on the restaurant and how corporate it is, as well as the job and role I would think. Generally the restaurant service industry tends to be more forgiving of a person's past. Also depends on what kind of offenses are on the record - DUIs and bad credit, or minor crimes like low level possession and/or kiting a check one time may be fine. Felonies for more serious crimes: robbery, significant financial crimes, getting caught with large amounts of controlled substances with intent to distribute, etc, will likely be a problem. But even that may depend: if you are a cook, in the kitchen, not touching any money, could be fine.
