Hello,
Back in 2006, I was charged with retail theft and recieved court supervision. Since then, i am in the process of going back to grad school to recieve my MPA (Masters Public Administration) I plan on getting a government job, but I am really nervous that even when I get my record sealed and expunged, they will still see it. Will a government agency or office hire me when they see these records? I mean I have not done anything like that since and hope they would understand. What do you guys think? Thanks so much for any help By the way I am in Chicago,IL Answers (1)

That totally depends on the government agency. The CIA and FBI can, and do, look at the sealed records for some of their hires. They are the most finicky. The biggest problem is if you lie on the application. To the CIA and FBI lying about a past conviction is much worse than the conviction itself.
