Dude, if it doesn't show up on the background report I posted, then it's not going to show up when a hospital runs a background check. The whole point was that his sentence was deferred, so he doesn't know if it will show up or not.
Background check is a huge blanket term and trust me, they are not all made equally. Health care workers are required to go through very strict checks, and it's actually quite likely that something wouldn't show up when the school did it, but would when the hospital runs it, simply because they ordered a much more detailed check. Don't bank on it not being there.
Listen, it's pretty simple: when asked, answer honestly. Don't lie. Even if the background check you ordered doesn't show it, it could come up in some capacity later and you could be dismissed for it. Does that seem worth it to you??
Now you're stretching. "Interview process" also includes the background check just before matriculation? Please. Just admit you were wrong.
You said 99% sure it will come up. Clearly that's not the case because not all secondaries are like that.
Your reading comprehension skills are pathetic. Good luck on that VR section. Let me see if I can dumb it down a bit for you:
1. Interview process (for my purposes) has always referred to AACOMAS through matriculation. It's what I've always called it. I suppose I should have said 'application process.' Go back and note how I even mentioned the secondary as being within the confines of the 'interview process.' This alone confirms what I was saying.
2. I never once claimed they would background check anyone before an interview. You inferred that because you aren't good at this game.
3. I am 99% sure it will come up at some point during the 'application process,' which includes a background check prior to matriculation. Do you even understand how easy it is to find this type of stuff in the age of the internet, electronic records, etc? You get the ticket, the cop puts it into some electronic database; you go to court, they put it in their electronic database 2-4 times (every time you go, there is a new record that involves the ticket and is up in there); you pay a fine to the city, court, etc, and, shocker, that gets put into an electronic data base. See how easily it would be for some professional background company to stumble upon any of these???
However, if you answer the questions HONESTLY when they are asked, you have nothing to worry about when it pops up. If they don't specifically ask and it comes up, then there is nothing that can be done about it. However, if they do ask and you lie because the $12 background check you ordered off craigslist didn't show it ... you can be dismissed or have your acceptance revoked. Do you think it's worth risking this several times all so you don't 'ruin your chances' by explaining a beer ticket.
4. Even if all secondaries don't include these questions (not all of them do, maybe 50%), the '99%' I threw around referred to the fact that it will come up on the background check, which will be performed before matriculation. If you were never asked about it (on the secondary, in an interview, etc), then you're fine. Again, I've said this multiple times. Just because you don't suffer consequences from it, doesn't mean it won't show up/come up on the background check.
5. I've been through the process ... you haven't. Trust me when I say that I know how the process works.
