Criminal background checks?

Question

So at college I received a drug paraphenial charge. My parents don't know I am handling evert thing myself. It is a class B misdemenor. In applying for a job at FedEx I on the application I checked no for never committed a crime, hoping they wouldn't find my charge. I know a the manager there and he was all for hiring me through the interview and then I came the background check. 3 days later I get a call saying take your drug screening which was the next step in hiring process. So I thought I passed the background check.. My urine was clean, and now it's been about 1 week and a half and no word. I called and asked to see what's up, and he said they are waiting on paperwork. Kinda makes me think I haven't cleared background check. I'm just asking for options on what you think is going on? And am I set working minimum wage jobs till I get this expunged off my record?

so basically you LIED and now you are wondering what FedEx is going to do about that LIE......
it is highly likely that FedEx will NOT hire you, NOT because of the misdemeanor but because of the fact that you lied about it....

criminal background checks are done to test honesty, integrity, reliability, trustworthiness, and to evaluate how an applicant deals with the mistakes they have made in their past more than to weed out those convicted of a crime that is not directly related to the job in question....

Minimum wage jobs and much more likely to do criminal checks then skilled jobs are. Its a common misconception that its the other way around.
