about becoming a locksmith

Postby poor paperclip picker » 26 Sep 2007 18:56

well i have one main question that might prevent me from getting a good job as a locksmith. i have one arrest on my record, its nothing major and it will get expunged from my record once i complete my probation. my charge was possession of marijuana. it seems like that wouldnt really affect it (unlike i think a breaking and entering would affect it more) but i just want your guys opinions. like i said after a few more months of probation it will be erased from my record.
just wanting to know
thanks

Well it doesn't sound like its even related to security or B&E crimes so I'm sure most employers will consider overlooking that minor smuge on your otherwise clean record. Just be willing and ready to take a drug test for them.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

If its completely gonna be removed from your record then you should be all in the clear.
