Where you convicted?
Do you have a Criminal record?

If the answer is NO than IMHO opionon you have notheing to worry about.

If you can't answer No (or are not really sure) It might behoove you to hire a PI and do a background Investigation on yourself.......................
See what he/she can pull up...........................

If you find a questionable past you'll need to be upfront in an interview.
Many potential employers can overlook past indiscreations but will not tolerate a Liar. Always be honest in an interview...........but you don't always have to offer TOO much personal info unless asked.

Just my non lawyer opinion
Thanks, I have no arrest, etc so I don't have to answer yes to anything on the app, but I had heard that background checks go beyond the basic stuff. If they ask, I'll tell them, but I'm not sure what the impact will be if they find it on their own...
