I as well applied at Wells Fargo and did two phone interviews and got hired, but then after the background check they rescinded the offer.
I am 59 yrs old and was arrested for S/L ( i know it was wrong and I am in therapy)and I had to plead guilty to a misdemeanor it will show up on my background check and record now forever. I have a degree and am certified in my profession, and basically I am able to work from home on my computer reviewing reports, however, I have now been denied 3 jobs now due to my Record. This is ridiculous as I am not working with money or anything of that nature, So I gave up my certified license (I have re-new it every 2 yrs and take continuing Ed classes that cost roughly $2000), so it came to why bother if I cant get hired. So now getting close to retirement age, I can't even get a job in my field, which paid very good, or at Walmart. My retirement is gone, Cobra is expensive. I don't think it fair to brand people for the rest of there life. And the store prosecuted, so therefore after $6000 in lawyer fees and court cost $2500 and store restitution my life is basically bankrupt over all of this. Again I know it was wrong and if I could undo it I would, but I cant, just sucks!
