I left a job then put in for a job with a company I would have loved to work for and stay at that company for 20 years or more until it was time to grow old and watch birds out my windows in retirement . So I put in for this certain job that I was very qualified for the company called me, more than once had a phone interview all was going great . This job is in my home town and it's a mining job so it would be kind of life in full circle kind of thing . So they said ok we will call you and tell you when to relocate to start this job . We just need to get your back ground check done and we will call you , well ok great sounds like this is great very excited couldn't wait . Well in one email my world went from good to I;m a liar and kick rocks we asked if you had a felony record you said NO and that is not true so NO JOB . I was saying no you are wrong no I don't have one wrong person . Well I said i'm not someone special by no means but a felony um no not me , well turns out 25 years ago yes I was arrested . long story short myself and friends were at a friends house one owed the other money things were taken they all ran I didn't why I did not take a thing so why run , well when you're a punk kid and tough guy you don't tell on people as stupid as your self so the officers said fine you take all the charges . Well after I was released 7 months later I report to a very nice female I saw her once a month for a year and she said well Jason your all done good job and have a crime free life . She didn't say have a felony life so for 25 plus years I have been a liar because it turns out it was not be good for a year and that's that , nope it turns out even if no felony record for the last 25 years NM will still say you're a punk kid for life unless you have a lot of time and money to give the Governor for full pardon in a state I don't live in your not going to fix your mistake . Being judged for who you were and not who you are is a sick feeling , and yes it is my responsibility to know I have a felony , and I take all for my actions I always will that's a fact . I have only talked with the HR person at the job site and I explained what happened and he said get in touch with NM and have them set aside charges and send me a email i can send to legal and I think you will be fine Jason . So I did all he asked but NM said I'm a loser for life if you don't have a lot of money for the Governor and I never received a letter from the Company I was trying to get this job with so I want to call the main office of this company to see if they would sit down with me so they can see I had no idea i was saying something that was not true . Like I said this is the town I was raised in my Father was an employee of this mine for 20 years my Mother ,Grandmother, and Aunts all school teachers in this town I have cousin that's a teacher now relatives and friends in this town , and I would not want my shame to be put in with anyone of them . I need help some advice some thing before I lose ever thing . My world is upside down and can take no Jason you did not get the job . What I can not take is I'm a LIAR that is not me never will be me and that's what they think I am I don't think a single person on earth would ever say I don't bust my butt at what ever job I have had 110% from start to the finish of the work day 8 hour day to 15,16 hour day that's who I am and always will be so if just if anyone can help me with advice I would be forever grateful I'm not used to asking for help with anything , but this I'm not able to take , Thanks for any advise anyone can give me
