Job hunting dilemma

[RCMerchant]

Say NO.
If you haven't been convicted-your not a felon.
Even if you are convicted-if it's not a felony-you are not a felon.

Well, I was defnitely charged with a felony.  I can tell you that much.

Anyway, I just hope something comes up (jobwise) soon, as I need some money.   

I know it's little comfort-but my hearts with you.

I would repeat, say "no." You haven't been convicted yet, so technically you are still telling the truth.

But look at it this way, the worst that can happen is that you don't get the job. If you do get the job, and they find out you lied on your application, the worst they can do is fire you. At least you had gainful employment for a while.

There's really no sugar-coating it, a felony conviction is going to cause you a lot of problems. I have a good friend who was tweaked out for years and did some very stupid things. He's in a good place now, but he still has to deal with the repercussions of that period of his life.

But it isn't the end of the world. I would suggest you become a legal expert in your rights. It's probably going to be tough, but you are still a person who needs to work.

EDIT: I'm sorry if I came off as flippant in this post. I wish you the best.
