Does informal probation disqualify someone from getting a job?

An informal probation may disqualify someone from getting a job. It depends very much what the industry your trying to enter is looking for regarding criminal records.

From experience I had filled out some jobs applications that were only looking for conviction records. They weren't concerned with anything in between.

Then there are other employment applications that ask specifically have you ever been convicted of a crime. If you have, you should answer honestly.

But check this out, there are employment applications that would ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony or misdeamenor in the last 7 or 10 years. You answer know, but how about a judgement before probation show up in the investigation of your background and you do not get the job because of this finding. What you think about that?
