Re: Criminal Conviction A Problem?
Scroggs,
Are you telling me that if Virgin Atlantic (where you work) found out about a previous arson conviction that they would employ this guy?
Get real, whatever the law says is irrelevant.
There are loads of people chasing too few jobs. Why would an airline take on a former arsonist when it has plenty of straight down the line guys to choose from?
What some people, i.e. 747 downwind are advocating is lying on an application form to get a job. PATHETIC.
I know that TUI/THOMSON ask if you have had previous convictions. The fact that they comply with the rehabilitation of offenders act is one thing. They won't tell you that you don't fit the bill because of that conviction. You just won't fit the bill for one of many other reasons they are at liberty to dream up.
Lewis is thinking of spending 60000GBP to do a course leading to huge debts in order to never get a job in my opinion.
I THINK YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
