<p>Hello all…new member here</p>
<p>I am a Logistics Senior in texas with a 3.53 GPA
I need to do an internship in order to graduate.</p>
<p>My problem is that 13 years ago (18 yrs old) I was quite stupid and got a burglary of building charge…I completed deferred adjudication successfully so I wasnt convicted…just charged…still shows up on background checks…</p>
<p>In 2008 I got a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge…deferred adjudication successfully completed…same thing; charged but not convicted…still shows up on background checks…</p>
<p>(don’t need commentary on my poor choices…i am very aware…hence the college and good grades through hard work to fix my idiotic past)</p>
<p>I hired a lawyer to clear my record…but he wont be done until April of 2014…the internship companies are beating down my door with offers but i am worried as soon as they run my background they will disappear…</p>
<p>what do you guys think? proceed forward with the interview processes or put them off until next year? a lot of them are with huge worldwide shipping firms…dont want to burn bridges…once i fail their file search, wont that ruin my chances for once i get my record clear?</p>
<p>cant decide—wish i would of hired lawyer earlier but well…no sense in thinking about that.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
