[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do I handle this? I signed a job offer, pending a background check. I got charged in juvenile and domestic court in 2016 and the case was dismissed. I am in the process of expungement but it hasn't been officially expunged.

I am ashamed to admit the charge was as a result of me fighting back against an abusive ex boyfriend. However, since I had no proof and no money at the time for a decent lawyer, my lawyer recommended taking the easier route. How should I handle this? Should I wait for the company to ask me, or be honest ahead of time? I can't remember regarding the application if it asked if I was ever convicted of anything or arrested.[/quote]
So which one is it- arrested and not charged or convicted? Myself and 3 of my European girlfriends have been arrested in US. It's a business here. 3 of us were let go and no-papered, one got a fine I think. Getting arrested is not a big deal here obviously, being convicted is. [/quote]

Getting arrested is a big deal. That said, OP doesn't have to worry about a background check if that's all that happened. [/quote]
