Minor arrest records can keep college students out of job market

Every year, thousands of college students in Florida and across the nation leave home for the first time and make decisions with potential to affect their lives for years.

A U.S. Department of Justice report released in June showed that students who have been arrested, even for minor crimes, face extra obstacles in an already shaky job market.

A criminal record "will keep many people from obtaining employment, even if they have paid their dues, are qualified for the job and are unlikely to re-offend," according to Amy L. Solomon, a senior adviser to the assistant attorney general in the Office of Justice Programs, and author of the report.

Her report pointed out that "the majority of employers indicate that they would 'probably' or 'definitely' not be willing to hire an applicant with a criminal record."

1. Some employers look for reasons not to hire

First you have to look like they want you to

Then, you have to say and talk like they want you to.

Then, they want to see your facebook information so they can check your political beliefs.

Then, after you are hired, if you sign a petition they don't like or are sited in the newspaper as having a stance on any political or social issue they can fire you.

It would be nice if they just valued you for the work you did but that's not today's reality -

AND - Right TO Work makes it worse

I'm sure glad I'm retired

2. You are absolutely right.

If they want to knock you out for a reason, it isn't too hard to find one these days.
