It is a published question on many job applications, so clearly asking that question is allowed/legal. Unlike asking if you have kids, or health problems is not legal. <br /><br />If you run a business handling cash, credit card numbers, or entrust them to be around people's personal valuables, you have the right to not hire someone who has already committed a serious offense. <br /><br />No, I did not expect the guy to ask me to pass the Grey Poupon Dijon mustard, while inquiring about hiring felons.....<br />Just the twang in his voice, and the question came late on a Friday, kind of struck ma as a *just when I thought I'd heard it all.*<br /><br />Over 1000 people applied for 60 job openings, and the employer themselves said that does allow them to cherry pick who they choose to hire.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-77873071333325569872009-09-05T00:16:02.434-07:002009-09-05T00:16:02.434-07:00So was the proper way to phrase that question,
