I really need help on this...very discouraged with no where 2 turn.
Heres the facts...Convicted of Class B felony marijuana possession with intent to distribute 1997. This keeps haunting me in my job search... conviction was in Missouri...I am now in Texas...Was hoping I had put enough distance and time between then and now...I don't know whether to lie or tell the truth on applications/ background searches...its a catch 22...tell the truth...don't get the job...lie and they find out...no more job. I avoid giving them info on the county where it happened...hoping to avoid it coming up...but I don't know if they can find out anyway? but truly i am at a loss...I know I should tell the truth...but that isn't working...I need some good advice...I got this skeleton in my closet and I just want to move on. I would love to know if there is anyway around this??? any loophole??? something??? thanks for your time
