Hi Guys,
I am new to this site and i have been looking for help about my situation. This is how the story go, in August of 2008 I was fired from Store name( IL) for Retail Theft of a gift card. I was taken into the office by the LP guy and asked to sign a confession, but i never confessed i wrote and i quote " I take full responsibility for the gift cards that came up missing on my register" i even paid the money back the very next day. I really felt terrible after it was all said and done like i let my manager down and myself. I was told that if i did so that no further actions will be taken, as far as the police being called. I know that I am in the NRT datatbase, because when i applied for another job at Kmart they offered me the job on the spot and i had to wait for a Background check. About a week later i received a call from Kmart saying that they can not offer me the job anymore because something was on my background and being that i have never been arrested a day in my life it had to be BRU. I have been searching for a job since the date above and been offered jobs on the spot , but when i get that call saying they would have to take the offer away from me because of my background its really discouraging and it hurts. This is the reason why i have been depressed for the past 3 years. I know what i did was wrong and i don't expect any sympathy from employers , but if i was given the chance to prove to them that it would never, ever and i do mean NEVER, EVER happen again and that i have changed they would see. So the question is How long do i stay in the NRTD? and What other jobs i can work that wouldn't check that? and also How far does some retail stores go back to check? Any advice is very much Welcomed.
Thanks in Advance
