Criminal Record?

Post by dandaman »

Hi, I'm interested in applying for the christmas casuals position (lates) at my local RM centre. I'm currently employed part time through the day, but really want to save up for a car hence wanting to work nights.

However, I have a couple of Public Order offences (most recent was two years ago) and a possession of class B drugs (5 years ago). I'm only 21 and i've wisened up since, is it still worth me applying?

Thanks for your feedback.

There is a list of unspent convictions that are a definite block here http://www.royalmailgroup.com/cy/node/4201" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
