Best Answer:
It depends on the employer, and what the misdemeanor was for.
If you were convicted of a drug offense, or prostitution, you are unlikely to be hired as a hotel front desk clerk. They just can't take the chance.
If it's a driving offense, then sure.
Small employers, especially small businesses, can basically do whatever they want -- so they might be more likely to hire you.
You should also look into having your record expunged, if that is legal in your state.
