No, you're not going to just sit and wait. What other places need workers? Check with the library, the hospital, nursing homes, fast food places, etc. and also, for the first three places, ask if you could apply to be a volunteer. Get your foot in the door!Quote:

Now am 17 trying to get a job at best buy and they said am hired as long as the criminal background check comes back good. If it's a criminal background check will they find my past job and is that all they will do? (Thats all it says on the paper work he gave me). I have no record. Now I asked this question on Yahoo answers and someone said this so now am scared :(
Most of the time, No.
A criminal background check is a search of court records in your places of residence and employment, as determined by the address information you provide on the job application as well as additional addresses and AKA's (name variations) found through the Social Security Trace (if they do one--most employers do).
The SS trace is the name and address information on your credit record. So the answer is no, unless these past employers somehow show up in your criminal records or social trace, in which case a smart researcher would connect the dots.
If a full credit report is run, then your previous employers are very likely to show up there.

It depends on how thorough the background check is - I would say that the firing won't be found out. However, you have to tell the truth when you fill out the employment application so your past history will be revealed in that manner.
They would not find a criminal background for Subway unless you were fired because you did something that the police were involved in.
Nope I just got fired for not showing upQuote:

Thanks, were trained well. They will train everyday depending if they joined infantry which I did. Don't worry but thanks for caring everyone should.
So Best buy yesterday said I was hired if the criminal background check comes back good (Im clean nothing on my record) just worried if they will find my past job
Do you think they will find out? :confused: :(
Even if they do, nothing was criminal, you were 15 and an idiot, and we've all been there, done that. I vote that you will get the job.Quote:

Haha yeah we all were at one time. I use to talk about I can't wait to get a job and make money but at that age your lazy and don't want to do much which I suffered from and lost a job. Thanks Wondergirl you have been great. I just worry a lot. Marines should get that out of meQuote:

If they ask why you didn't list it tell them that it wasn't much of a job and you consider Best Buy as your first real job.
I'll bet every person on AskMeHelpDesk has screwed up on a job and maybe lost it when they were a teenager. I even managed to do it in my 20s.Quote:

How do they find out, 1. one of your personal references makes a slip about it.
If they run a credit report, it may ( or may not) be listed as a place of employment
And depends on how long you have worked there before they find out, and how good you have done.
You have to decide - if you tell them and then they find it, I don't see it's a big deal. It's 2 years ago, you were young, you overslept a lot, whatever. Now you are serious about employment.
If you don't tell them and they find out it's too late to explain.
Do I think it'll turn up? No. If they hire you and then find out, what will they do? Nothing - unless you lied on your application.
So it's difficult to say.
Hello again, Jeff:
