RE-4 guy here too. I tried with no luck. Even talked to an attorney about getting it changed. The likelyhood of that happening was slim so I didnt spend the money.

Good luck to you in your job search. In this job market I would suggest only trying to get a job where you already know someone. Employers are picky and can be because there are plenty of qualified people to choose from. My experience (and my record doesn't have drug charges) is that it takes a VP or the like to make the decision to hire you not the typical hiring managers that it normally takes.

Hiding your charges are impossible because security companies are mining data on you as we speak and will save that data to look back on. Even arrests where I was not convicted of anything show up as red flags.

I honestly wish you the best of luck and my purpose of telling you all this is not to get you down, but to give you some insight that will hopefully make your search more fruitful.

If you start your own thing than you have no worries. Good luck! I always like seeing a success story come out of these situations. I am one myself!
