I live in the state of California so if anyone can help me please or give me any advive I would appriecate it very much. I am a recovering addict. I have almost five years clean. When I was using, I was a totally different person and went a little crazy, stupid crazy. Anyway, I was convicted of a felony and on May 29 I will officially be off probation. I now have been a productive member of society for almost 5 years, basically, jail scared the crap out of me, I got clean and haven't been in any trouble since.

Like I mentioned before, I live in California and I am a contract employee in a state office.
My boss loves me and really is pushing me to become permanent employee for the state. How do I tell her about my past. I'm almost positive she wouldn't judge me, but my guilt and shame override this friendship we have.

Can any one tell me how to get a record expunged? What does this process intel? Is it true you can never get a state job if you have been convicted of a felony? How do I tell someone I respect and admire that I use to be a huge menace to society?

Please, any advice anyone has is very appreicated.

Call a lawyer. And you should be proud of yourself.

The process to explunge a criminal record is to make a petition to the court, part of the issue is that you just got off probation ( which means your sentence just ended. Nomally they are going to look for a number of years after the end of your sentence

Next of course if this is a national secuirty position, even explunged records are visible to them. And many people have state jobs with felonies but it can depend on what job.

I am surprised they don't already know,

But yes to start you would get an attorney to see if you meet the requriements and file for you

No, you weren't convicted. What is the question on the application form? I'm guessing that it asks if you have ever been convicted. So you can truthfully answer "no".
