Had a job interview and application this moring. Took me 30 min to fill out the application. The second the secretary saw my felony for marijuana growing in 1997 I got rejected instanttaniously.

I was more than qualified for the position.
The job wasn't even that great. just a regular job.

I been going to school for over 4 years earning several certificates and an associates degree and less than 40 credit hours short of a Bachelors.

This happens every time I look for a professional job. :mad: :( :confused:

When you lie and they find out your auto rejected, no questions asked. They'll find out and have no choice. drrr

This company I applied for has a certain policy I guess. She said "security something " We cant take this any further until this is cleared. I'm thinking, it's a felony lady "felonys dont get cleared, that's why their felonies".

ugh such discrimination. my mother has the same problem, as well. since she has a few felonies she can barely work anywhere. what was bush rambling about before the reelection.. giving ex cons more freedoms/opportunities? what a lying bastard. then again, most of us knew that all along.

From what I've heard, the midwest isn't quite as tolerant as those on the coast or close to the coast concerning weed. When I visited in that area, everybody only whispered about it and were paranoid even then and didn't even smoke or have some on their person. Some of the people I saw there were straight up comfortable being 'the welcoming rug for you to scrape your feet on' hospitable, but that's not my point.

They had even called the night before giving me the job details and pay rate. They made me go online to a hirerite website to do a background check. When I went in this morning I got a sheet of paper asking the question of a felony.

well, I had the job until I filled out their application :(
