I have a misdemeanor for fighting like 4 years ago should i put it on my job application?`?

Read the question on the application. If it asks only about felonies, then say no. If it asks about all crimes, and you lie, then you not get hired as you will be seen as a violent criminal AND a liar.

Yes apply it in your application, and do put will explain during interview. It's the best thing to do plus honesty always helps.

If it asks for it yes. Federal law allows employers to go back 7 years when conducting a background check. 10 years if the job is sensitive like a teacher or banker.

You have a misdemeanor what? A charge or a conviction? You only need to tell employers about convicitons - simple arrest charges cannot be used against you (although try proving that they didn't). If yiu are found to have knowingly and freely misrepresented any fact on an application, it can be grounds for being canned, so you should resign yourself to telling the truth. " it ws a stupid fight " In the real world, most crimes are the result of some stupidity.

If you want any shot at the job answer the question honestly. Most places will fire you on the spot or not hire you if the background check comes back with something not listed even if they would have hired you with the charge.
