Q. This is just a question about employment. Say my resume says that I did a certain job at my previous company and I give the new prospective employer permission to contact my previous employers. What information may they obtain legally without any breach? I have heard mixed answers on this, I have also heard that the only thing they can say is that they may confirm you were once an employee, nothing more.
A. The weight of the law lies with your previous employer. They are only allowed to verify that you worked there, when you worked there and if they would hire you again. That's it.
Your new employer may be able to read between the lines depending on how the question get answered. Try referring your potential employer to human resources and not your old boss if you left under questionable circumstances. They are likely to give a neutral answer according to their guidelines.

Will employers 10 years from now care if applicants had a big gap back in the late 00s or early 2010s?
Q. I just got hired by a small business closing my 2½ year employment gap. Do you think by 2020 the employers will forget about the great recession? Or will they question a big employment gap way back between 2009-2012?
This new job is expected to be permanent, so I look to put in a good number of years here, & I don't expect to create another employment gap like that again.

A. I think they will. My current full-time employer (hired July 2010...very small company w/ only 4 employees including myself) asked about every gap in my employment history, including one from the early '90s when I was away at a small-town college with no transportation to get to a job. They even asked about my on-going freelance CAD design which I do part-time from home (on my resume).
If I have a juvenile felony conviction do I need to say yes on employment applications if asked about felonies
Q. when completing an application for employment I am asked if I have been convicted of a felony. It does not say Juvenile felony so can I honestly say no to that question if I was convicted of a Juvenile felony? I do not want to lie and I want the job really bad. Does the question on the employment application only pertain to my Adult life from the age 18 on ? any help with this would be great, I really do not want to miss out on this opportunity.
A. Juvenile records are not automatically wiped away in most states when the accused person reaches the age of the majority.
You have to petition to have your criminal record sealed or expunged at a later date. However, many juvenile defendants aren't aware of the importance of making this petition. Consequently, many juveniles do not make this petition, and their juvenile histories remain a part of their criminal records.
