    I have finished my probation why can't I get a job?
    I had one year of probation. I went to court and was told that I had completed the year. I was given a paper stating that. However when I go and apply for a job no one seems to want to hire me. Do I need to hire an attorney to get this off my record?

    What sort of jobs are you applying for? (Working as a checkout clerk and with money might not be possible if your offense involved theft, for instance.)

    In the US, you can't just get it off your record, at least for 8 years or so.

    But it is very hard right now for someone with experience and a clear record.

    So what type of job were you doing before

    The economy is terrible right now. Even the college educated person with a squeaky clean record is having a hard time finding a job. It's just going to be harder for you.
