    What's a good criminal record?

    Not getting caught? Have you a job on?

    Unless it's to do with untreatable employer murder, I'd probably treat them no different from any other applicant.

    What if it was for murdering someone who didn't give them a job?

    Anything by Johnny Cash...

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    My response, in Haiku;

    Criminals can try.
    I check all references.
    Maybe, maybe not.

    Depends.

    If i wanted someone killed, i would probably look for some sort of experience in the job application.

    Of course, if they have a criminal record it probably would be an indictment of their poor skills at evading the law...

    Hmmm decisions decisions..

    Sure it depends on what they did and also on how they would fit the vacancy. Jaysus wept OP, use your fecking head before you ask a dumb question.

    If I was involved in a criminal enterprise it would be a pre requisite which would be discussed at length at the interview.

    Prisoners should be forced into unpaid labour for privately owned prisons, which in turn pay a commission fee + tax to our fine government. Only bleeding hearts could have a problem with this win-win solution.
