Do insurance companies have any stipulations on sending the work overseas? Are background checks done on these they are outsourcing to? I'm just curious..

Felony in Past
I've just completed an MT course and am now looking to get hired. I have been turned down by a couple of companies because I have a felony in my past from 1995. Can someone who has a felony every get hired to be an MT or have I wasted my money and time? If it is possible to get hired, any ideas on which companies I should try. Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

A lot of people in the medical field are very self-righteous and judgemental as well as hypocritical. Apparently this is not a field to go into unless you're perfection like they think they are. Sorry if this upsets some people on this board.

i am inclined not to think that "Anon" and "anon2" are the same person. i have reread both, and the two have very different styles. i think "anon2" is just commenting on "Anon's" reply posts, but that is just mho. incidently, i did not take anything amiss in the posts. i thought several of them were quite compassionate.
Try expunging the felony record. sm
My friend's daughter did this after being turned down for a job at Target. She was an adult. You will need some legal assistance to do it.
Theft $400 and above is a felony in most places
Did you call the police where they live/where you sent the equipment? Threaten them with it in email (go to readnotify.com and sign up for the trial and you can see if and when they open your email). After that, do it. Call the police and file charges. That is BS and they need to pay the consequences.
I think that on background checks, companies are usually looking for felony convictions. SM
I could be wrong. I know that I have passed background checks and I have an arrest for bouncing a check back when I was 20.
My DH had an assault arrest on his record for about year when we first got married (for a drunken bar fight, MEN!). He was sentenced to a year probation and thent he assault would be taken off his record. Anyway, he was a licensed paramedic and he tried to get a part-time job at a riverboat casino as an EMT/Security Guard and they did a background check and told him that with the assault on his record, they couldn't hire him.
So, basically I think they are looking for felonies and serious crimes when they do a background check. Plus with jobs like MT, I don't think the background check is all that extensive.
By the way, my DH successfully completed his probation and now has a clean record and he has grown up considerably! Didn't want anyone to think I was married to a loser.
