Job Interview Questions: Will this effect my job interview?

I was caught shop lifting a while back but the police gave me a warning.

I know, i was stupid. I've been clean ever since.

I have a job interview tomorrow at Aeropostale and they do a background check on criminal records and everything. Will the theft be on my records?

I'm a bit scared now. Should i stil go to the interview?

Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress

Recommended Answer:
You should still go.

If the police only issued you a warning, it probably won't show up. Can you contact the police department and ask them?

There's always someone there. You could call right now. MAKE SURE you use the NON-EMERGENCY number!!!

Should it come up in the interview, you could say that you made a terrible mistake, you're very sorry and embarrassed about it. You have learned a lot about yourself because or since then (if that's true of course. Be prepared to mention WHAT you've learned.)

And ask to be put on the greeting/folding duties for a probationary period until you've had your first employee review.

Don't bring it up voluntarily though. It probably won't even be mentioned.

How to Perfectly Answer Job Interview Questions Without Breaking a Sweat

• If you were given a warning then it wont show up on your record. Especially if you are a minor you have nothing to worry about, I'm guessing that if you are applying there then you are. Good luck.


• If your honest you won't get hired, if you lie and they find out, you won't get hired. If it's not on your record then your safe. Tough call, you need to look into it to see what your record says. After you find out you can apply for a job with a peace of mind. Good luck!


• A warning will not show up on your record, only a conviction. Also you were a minor, so your record would be sealed anyway.
  Don't let this incident hold you back from a good job. To be safe you can call county where warning was given.
