I recently submitted to an fingerprinting background check for a job that I been on for nearly a year. Some how they forgot to conduct it when they offered the job to me. I was very conflicted when doing the fingerprinting because I did not know whether I should or shouldn’t disclose because it was 30yrs ago while I was a teenager and I was granted YOA status. So I decided to disclose based off my duties as a licensed Social Worker. Well, I received a letter from HR informing me that since I said yes to having a criminal history, I needed to submit documents and a corresponding letter statement to what happen. Keep in mind the offense did not involve children, elderly, disabled persons or any heinous crimes. I am currently freaking out because I disclosed at my own free will and now I feel guilty for doing so. I am nervous that I may not be employed but I keep thinking, the Social Work Board in my state is aware and granted me permission to test and hold a license to practice SW. Is there any hope? I am in need of some encouraging words at the moment. Thanks in advance for kind words.
