They have the right to deny you employment for any reason they wish with exception of the following: race, gender, age, religion, nationality, physical handicap, and sexual orientation. Criminal record, even a rather minor drug charge, is reason enough to deny you employment. Calling a lawyer is likely a waste of your time and money as no violation of the Equal Opportunity Employment Laws occured.
Reply:you can be turned down a job because of a conviction.


nothing you can do except keep looking for another job
Reply:How long ago was the charge? Minor at the time? If so, it shouldn't be on your record, if you were of age, option 2.
Reply:In most area's if you are in any type of security position, you will be denied the job because of the liability of a convicted employee (most of the time its because insurance companies will not cover security companies that have this type of a liability). The best thing to do is consult a lawyer because the only way you would even have a very slight chance (and I mean very) at any suit is if:You can prove some violation of the EEOC which it doesn't sound like it has occurred. At this point, I would just wish you weren't a dumb kid.
Reply:its called" at will employee " they can not hire you for any reason .. your credit history.. they dont like the car you drive,sounds like you wouldnt wanna work there anyhow. If you are talented enough start your own land surveying firm and bid the same jobs as that company does
