Declaring criminal record at Job interview !?

Ok , got a job interview this week , the job will entail an enhanced disclosure CRB , I do have my own copy , and yes 3 convictions , all spent , although there is another 1 on there of which I have never been convicted of through the courts and yet is on there ?

I intened to show this crb at the interview stage , 1 ) to save wasting each others time and 2 ) being upfront and honest about it , by the way 1st conviction 1989 , last 1 in 1994 , I have considered typing up an account / summary of explanation to spent convictions , circumstances surrounding these convictions , in order to be honest and upfront , as I believe it does put a different spin on the convictions ? a good idea or not , any ideas / suggestions anyone ?

    I think that is a good idea. They will however require a new one if they want to employ you.

    It does show that you are now being honest about your circumstances.

    Good Luck

    If you were an employer with two applicants for a job - one with three convictions and one with none - which one would you seriously consider for the job? Harsh, but totally common sense.

    It could be said that the one with no convictions simply hasn't been caught yet, but officially, no convictions means a totally honest and non-violent person with a mature sense of responsibility

    I am afraid most people would never employ you.

    Multiple criminal convictions, when dozens of other applicants will have clear records, is just a total turn off for an employer.

    Having said that you understandably don't reveal here what it is you have actually done- drugs, violence, theft- with repeat offences over several years- it must be bad!
