Embarassing...but your opinion please...

I don't know I was arrested for drunken behavior after a cubs game. Nothing showed on my record, I think it was also for lude and lucivous behavior as well. Course I had evil friends, they were all just as drunk as I was and that day is little hazy to remember. I wasn't convicted of it, always marked no in the conviction box and now work for NJA. Still got the job now. I even got to spend 2 free days behind bars. Lesson learned, don't mouth off to cops when completely hammered. Best lesson to learn at 19.

Keep it simple.

If they ask if you have been convicted of any crimes, and the answer is "no", then check or say "no".

If the answer is "yes", then be honest, but be brief, concise, and to the point. In other words, don't dig yourself into a hole, talking too much. Too much background info can be just as bad as too little.

Keep it simple, and wrap it up on a good note, "I learned not to get into a business venture without thoroughly checking out the person I would be doing business with!" or "I learned not to say "Bad cop, no donut!" when caught urinating in an alley after too many Old Styles at the Cubbies game" or, better yet "I learned no to put myself in a position where I could end up screwing up my career". . . . . .
