    Where do u get jobs in IA with theft 3rd--def. judg.--when will it disappear from rec
    I got a theft in the third degree. Got a deferred judgement with two years probation. This took place in Iowa. I am just wondering what type of jobs can I get possibly. Still currently on probation. When will the charge be expunged--is it after I finish probation? What if I finish probation early? Thanks

    Hello a:

    I don't know what kind of job you can get. Ever flipped a hamburger??

    Unless ordered by the court or the legislature, your criminal record will REMAIN in tact for the rest of your life... If you want an expungement, you're probably going to have to wait about 10 years.

    Hi again, ava2008!

    I don't really know about the legal aspects concerning what you're asking. However, getting a job is something that I know about.

    Is working the inbound call centers, the only job experience that you've had?

    Thanks!

    Please click on the following link.

    Iowa Workforce Development - Iowa's Employment Security Agency

    There are hundreds of jobs listed on that site. Many of them, you won't find advertised in newspapers.

    What you can do in an interview, is to wait until the end of the interview and then be upfront with a potential employer by prefacing what you're going to tell them about your criminal history with something like, "There's something about which I'd like to be upfront with you..."

    You'll get much more respect and a better possibility of getting a job, if you're upfront with a potential employer. Also, if you do need to fill out a job application, I've never seen it on an application where someone convicted of a crime couldn't attach an additional piece of paper explaining about the crime, how you've improved since committing the crime, progress made, empathy towards whoever the crime was convicted, how sorry you are, etc.

    This doesn't have to be overdone, but it's best to be upfront about it.

    Thanks!
