Ivan asked:


I recently graduated from college with a Bachelors in criminal justice but it seems like I don’t stand a chance to obtain any employment in that field because of my criminal background. I have applied elsewhere but my background keeps hunting me. It seems like the only way that I have a remote chance of acquiring decent employment is by forcing myself to lie on the employment application in regards to my criminal background. I don’t want to do that, but it seems like I don’t stand a chance otherwise. My girlfriend does not want me to be lying on anything, but she has no clue what is like to get rejected over and over again. I have a good positive mental attitude and that’s what keeps me going, but I just wish people (employer) would give me a chance instead of judging me based on a mistake I committed in the past. Can anyonel help me.
