    No responsible person on AMHD is going to advise you to lie.

    If you do decide to lie and are "caught," be prepared to be terminated immediately.

    Hi, bassdreams!

    Additionally, I've never seen it on a job application where a person couldn't attach further documentation to explain why they might have gotten a felony; what they've done to correct themselves so that they won'e make the same mistake again and how well they've prepared themselves to move forward proactively into the future so as to become a productive citizen again.

    Thanks!
