Most entry level positions only conduct a state criminal history check. They are looking for crimes which would relate to your ability to conduct a job as a cashier...are you trustworthy around money? Are you trustworthy around people?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
