Crimes Concerning a Person\u2019s Honesty and Integrity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe need for a Certificate of Rehabilitation is not required in all states of America. For one, a small number of states do not require a license to work as a security guard, such as Kentucky and Maine. However, most of the states require a license to work as a security guard, even as an unarmed security guard. Also, a few states do not accept felons to work as security guards, such as Nevada, Rhode Island, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is better, to be honest, by disclosing a felony on your resume (if you were once previously convicted) if you are applying to become a security guard. This is important because security guards are background checked before being given the job. Also, if the FBI found out during the background check that you were once convicted of a felony but you chose not to disclose it on your resume, you will be convicted of fraud which could result in you being back in prison as falsifying documents is a crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Securing a guard card for a felon might be a big challenge, but it lets you have a window of opportunity to work as a security guard. It may be hard, but it leaves a door wide open for more opportunities to come. Being honest in your records may help you secure a guard card. Also, documenting your educational attainment, courses studied may help and be an essential difference for you to be accepted in the job that you\u2019re applying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, being a felon doesn\u2019t mean that there would be no more opportunities for you in the future. Everyone makes mistakes and people can change for the better. No one wants to be remembered for crimes or wrongdoings that they have done in the past. People are not defined by setbacks but are defined by how we rise from those falls. Having your families, friends, and acquaintances to support may serve as the inspiration you need and become the game-changer in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
