Definitely depends on the job and typically they only go back 10 years. Most federal jobs don’t like anything that involves violence or drugs. But again, they only go so far.

It depends on the offense and the type of background check.

It likely depends on the job but I would doubt it.

I would encourage you to talk to your human resources representative about it. It depends on the job and probably the kind of work you will be doing.

As previously mentioned, depends on the type of job. It will be beneficial if you can explain it to the HR.

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!
