A construction company I applied with told me in the interview that I would need to be bonded to work there because they do a lot of jobs with the government. I am wondering why I would need to be bonded, and also how to go about getting bonded to secure a possible position with this company

If a warrant was never served and was closed does that change it to a guilty plea if the warrant was for probation violation? Also if it was closed are you able to get a job with a bank if it was committed over 10 years ago and the warrant was closed in 2009

Having you bonded protects your employer from financial losses and damages that are caused by you. They make sure that financial damage can be recouped if a covered event occurs. Bonds are especially common in construction, where an individual can cause a great deal of liability for the company through poor construction practices or theft. Your employer would be a good resource for information on a bonding company.

Warrants do not go away, they will stay open until executed.

I'm not sure what happened here. Were you wanted for probation violation? Were you ever arrested? Was the case adjudicated? Were you convicted of misdemeanor theft?

Any conviction for theft will likely exclude you from work in finance.

Yes.. some places will not bond anyone with a criminal history, and if you are able to be bonded, it will cost more than you would pay with no criminal record.
