Question about work camping

[wesmagyar]

Was wondering if any of you knew whether a single person with an accomplice after the fact to robbery conviction from 11 years ago would be able to get a work camping job... my initial guess is probably not but figured i'd ask.

<br /><br />Probably depends on the job, the place, and whether they require a background check or licensing.&nbsp; Security jobs are probably out for you.&nbsp; But the breadth of job possibilities include plenty where it wouldn't be an issue.&nbsp; If I gave suggestions, which I don't, I'd suggest subscribing to Coleen's newsletter and visit the site regularly to peruse what's available and the requirements.&nbsp;<p><a href="http://www.work-for-rvers-and-campers.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0066cc;">Workers On Wheels: Work For RVers and Campers</span></a></p>

I don't have a ready answer but I do have some suggestions.<br /><br />For state parks, which are volunteer positions without pay, I suggest you pick a park and stay for a few days. &nbsp;Work on acquainting yourself with the park manager and then question him/her on the possibilities. &nbsp;There most certainly are regulations but they may be able to give you guidance.<br /><br />The same possibility may be true for private campgrounds but those are mostly privately owned and they set their own rules.<br /><br />Right now Christmas tree lots and Amazon are gearing up for the holidays. &nbsp;Perhaps you can find something there. &nbsp;Work hard and try to get good references from the boss.<br /><br />Good Luck.<br /><br />-- &nbsp;Kevin

Depending on what state you are in, you can sometimes (with a LOT of paperwork) expunge that from your record.&nbsp; Not always, and it depends a lot on the crime and the state.&nbsp; But it might be worth looking into.<br /><br />Also, lots of background checks only look the past 10 years.&nbsp; But lots of job applications ask 'have you ever been convicted of a felony?' they are not asking for a time frame, but EVER.&nbsp; and that question is the horrible one.&nbsp; Myself, I've never been convicted of a felony, but I've had friends and family that have.<br /><br />I wish you lots of luck and success! Sorry I can't answer the specific question tho. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br /><br />I'm guessing tho, if you have stable employment over the past few years, and no further convictions, and they like you, they probably would give you a benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />With Love,<br />Tara
