Generally an adult is not compelled to disclose juvenile offenses on a job application. But, if you lie on a job application it can be grounds for dismissal in many instances. If the question asks if you have ever been accused or convicted of a felony, you should not lie. If you only have juvenile offenses, then you may put n/a on that line. If it asks for dates or types of charges convicted of, again you can put n/a/ If the interviewer wants to follow up with other questions, that is a different story. If it is a Yes or no question, then it is unclear whether your termination would be reverseable for just falsely answering "no." Many modern applications restrict such questions to adult offenses. If the application is made online or via a kiosk terminal, the methods of answering may be more hemmed in. In any case, you might want to consult directly with an employment lawyer in your area before completing an application that concerns you.
