Best Answer:
On the application form of employment that you are filling out you need to check yes that you have been convicted of a felony. It is not the State that you need to be concerned with but the Employer requesting this information. I am a Staffing Consultant and almost all of my Clients require a criminal background check and a drug test prior to employment. I always let applicants know in advance and if they are honest about what happened and how long ago it happened, I will certainly present this information to the Client. If you say no to never have been convicted and they run the check, you're unemployed. Ultimately, it is up to the Employer if they want to invest in your future with their company.
A:
Unless you are actually working around drugs, I don't see how it could be a problem.
As for the Associates & some BS, we all could qualify for that one <smile>
Good Luck!

You can work at any company that will give you a chance.
What you don't want to do is hide this arrest and/or conviction.
List the issue on the application. And if you get a chance to talk to them in an interview, you better be able to show them how you changed and why you are not a hiring risk.
