Employment background checks in New Jersey
A thorough background check is now routine, whether you are applying for a job, housing, a professional license, trying to get into college, or even volunteering to coach your child’s soccer team. More often than not, you will be asked to disclose, in writing, if you have ever been arrested or convicted of a criminal offense. While it is tempting (and not uncommon) for people to overlook their criminal records, in today’s world, where criminal records are available instantly, it is not a risk worth taking. Lying on an application can be cause for dismissal, making your situation even worse.
How can an expungement help you in New Jersey?
An expungement of your record will allow you to answer NO to these questions about your past – it gives you a blank slate, a second chance. If properly applied for and granted with the appropriate authorities, any information regarding apprehension, arrest, detention, trial, or disposition of an offense within the criminal or juvenile court or related proceedings is considered not to have occurred.
