1. HOPE SO
2. lol....anyways...i'd think that it depends on what kind of felony you were convicted of....i.e. if you burglarized a house, prolly not so good....but if you just littered three times in a row....
3. I believe so..but hey what thae heck its no big deal
4. well im getting ready to get convicted of a felony (possesion of a deadly weapon) when its all over i will go ty to get a job and i will let you know
5. I thought that was who they routinely employed...
6. There are three main groups w/in the us postal service. I don't know what kind of job you're looking for; however, they are: maitenance, operations and transportation. All require a "pre-employment screening" (form 2181-A.) That form provides consent to the usps to research your background. (One can only assume that past criminal history will be part of that screening.) Obviously, you'll have to provide full-disclosure of your past during the application process to avoid be excluded for lack of honesty with regard to your background. Form 2591 is the application for employment. In that form (question 7a) asks you if you've ever been convicted of a crime. It does however allow you to exclude the following: charges that were dismissed, convictions set-aside, adjudicated in a juvenille court or any charges that resulted in a non-criminal offense.
7. I would say absolutely--better find another career choice
