About to speak to the company now. This is when I have to tell them about the police check. Here we go.

Mentally, I've accepted that I'll be disquialified for the role, but it was great getting the experience!

Edit: Not looking good. Because of the type of client this company has a contract with, anything on a police check is bad news. The guy was nice, and is still going to double check, but yeah. No luck this time again.

Edit 2: confirmed no luck. Cannot have anything on police check. Fuck.

Best to fess up BEFORE they find out on their own. I would still pursue getting your record wiped though.

[–] Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Definitely. That's always been my way of doing things.

Any update to the situation?

[–] Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No luck. Can't have anything on my record whatsoever. Really sucks. But it is what it is.

oh bugger, I'm so sorry to hear :(

I wish you better luck next time.

I think it’s the right thing to do, but choose your words carefully. It could be the difference between looking like an active problem or achieving issue overcome.
