Thanks in advance and good luck to those waiting on the call!
When I went to one about a year ago the recruiter advised me I should list my hobbies and interests on my resume and then he asked me what my current hobbies and interests are. That was all he asked.

Yes and it's easily explainable.

It's on the main application it's just that question on the addendum. I lean to yes since there was a fine for the infraction but everything else in the question is related to misdemeanors and felonies so that's why I'm hesitant

If you have any doubts about speeding tickets go to the DMV, insurance, and local police and have them pull your record. I had been issued a ticket in 2011 that was dismissed but when I pulled insurance and DMV records is was gone but my police report still showed the ticket in the system. The police report was off my drivers license so I didn't want any problems so I put the ticket on the app anyway and when the interview was over they asked if I had anything to add and I gave them the documents for all 3 and said that there was a discrepancy. They said thank you for being honest and doing the leg work for them.

Thanks for the input guys. I rather be honest and have an extra citation listed that was dismissed rather than them doing their homework and wondering why I left them off. I appreciate everyone's help!

how far back do they want driving record stuff? I got a speeding ticket when i lived in another state about 8 years ago, but i don't have that license number any more so i don't know how i would get a copy of the record to find out the date.

Is there a date range? Otherwise all of it... I'd find it, because they will.

I'm wondering how they get the records. CA DMV only gives you the last 10 years when you request your record.
How do you get other states that you lived in 10 or 20 years ago?

Just put down your best guess and explain it at the interview. I had a couple of tickets from 20 years ago and could not find the exact date or even the exact city. They did not care.

They use data mining/background check companies. Try calling your insurance.

Like was said above, I had some I couldn't find a record of anywhere, listed best guess, talked for thirty seconds in the interview then moved on. Just because you can't find it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
