Hi! Has anyone had this happen before? I didn’t get a job as an accountant/cashier at a big company because they said I’m not trustworthy.
It’s true I’ve had a few small fines for bad parking, smoking in a public place and my neighbors complained once about loud music when I was celebrating my birthday.
But can they really refuse to hire me for stuff like that? And how did they even find out? I thought only the police could have that information. Should I sue the police for sharing my private information?

    They probably did a social media background check as well. Unfortunately we overshare on social media

  • Your activity record is how you will be judged by any good company. Your infractions, while short of a felony, imply you have judgement issues. Were... you not educated to watch your behaviors, as is occurring in this world, because they are likely to end up on social media? more

  • You are talking as if you already had rights before you were hired. It is pretty common for companies to do background checks and they can check any... public information including social media. You have mentioned some bad choices but we do not know if you are competent for the job. And they have to judge if you will fit in well. Your talk about suing 9shows you have no regrets about past behavior. Think long and hard. If people think you have remorse for past behavior and want to put your head down and get to work, they might give you a chance. Right now I would not take a chance with you either. Get some counseling from people you respect and make yourself acceptable to the employers. These are harsh words but at the current attitude, you need them and should heed them. Good luck. more

  • I think that's a question you should ask your family and friends. Are you untrust worthy? If you are, maybe best line of work for you would be... anything not related with managing funds. more

  • You made some bad choices and the events are not serious for you but for employers in the finance industry raises ethics questions. But this is only... one job so move on because you need to spend time on the positions that are open, not the doors that are closed. Qnce you have a police record of any type, it is public record. Move on, because you are wasting time. The bills keep coming no matter what. more

  • You *Can’t sue the police (typo)

  • You can sue the police I doubt the company did such an extensive background check for a cashier position but all of those things you mentioned are... public record and can technically be accessed by anyone very easily. What more than likely happened is either someone who knows you works there and said you weren’t trustworthy or someone there heard something somewhere about you. Either way yes a company can refuse to hire you for any reason they’d like as long as it’s not something like because you’re a woman or because of your sexuality or your race or age. Other than those things they can use whatever reasons they like to hire or not hire someone  more
