Seeking a Job in Kokomo, Indiana? Expunge Your Howard County Criminal Records First.
Last Friday there was a career fair in Kokomo, Indiana featuring area employers. The job fair provided an opportunity to learn about employment opportunities and gain information about area companies. The job fair also offered resume writing and career planning workshops. However, what is almost never discussed at a job fair is the fact that most of the employers will require a criminal background check as part of any job application. According to a recent study, 87% of employers conduct criminal background checks on all or some of their job applicants. If you have a criminal record in Howard County, Indiana, call Gibson Law Office for a free consultation with one of our expungement attorneys. The most valuable step in seeking a new job may be to expunge your criminal record.

With a population of over 45,000, it is Indiana’s 13th largest city. While Kokomo provides many area jobs, there are also thousands of local residents with old criminal records that are holding them back from higher pay and a better life.

This means that between Kokomo’s population, and the unemployed population of its surrounding counties, there are thousands of people searching for work in this area.
