Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for Chris to be truthful on job applications because many companies conduct criminal background checks. Being dishonest may result in losing the chance at a job or being terminated if the lie is discovered later. Instead, Chris should focus on highlighting their skills and qualifications, and being honest about the past while also discussing any rehabilitation efforts undertaken since then.
