CRC Surface Technologies Hiring Overview For 2023

Official company policy for hiring felons

CRC Surface Technologies told us that they hire felons on a “case-by-case basis.”

Has CRC Surface Technologies hired felons in the past?

Honestly, we can’t say for sure and we can find nothing online to say one way or another. However, they probably have based on what they told us about their current policy.

Does CRC Surface Technologies hire people with misdemeanors?

We don’t know definitively, but there’s a good chance that they hire people with misdemeanors if they hire former felons.

Will CRC Surface Technologies hire you with pending charges?

CRC just might, if they’re minor, but we do not have any information on this one way or the other from the company or employees.

Is CRC Surface Technologies on the Ban the Box list?

No, they’re not on the Ban the Box list. This program can help you apply for work when you’re an ex-offender. That’s because employers on this list say that they won’t look at your past offenses until they decide to offer you a job. You can usually spot these companies when you fill in a job application because they don’t ask you if you have a criminal record.

Another initiative that assists former felons in the job hunt is the Fair Chance Business Pledge. Businesses that take the Pledge promise to treat felons the same as those who haven’t been in trouble with the law. Unfortunately, CRC Surface Technologies doesn’t support the Pledge either.

Does CRC Surface Technologies have special programs for hiring felons?

If you’re wondering does CRC Surface Technologies hire people with misdemeanors or felonies through a special program, the answer is no.

Tips to get hired here with a felony

Read their careers overview page to learn what the company says about working for them. You will also learn what employee benefits they offer. As well, they say that they’re an equal opportunity employer.

This quote from their website tells you a bit about what they expect from their workers:

“We will build and maintain an environment of mutual understanding in which each employee knows that his or her personal contribution to the team effort is needed to achieve our goals and objectives.”

In other words, they put a high value on teamwork. This is important to know when you write your resume and here’s how you can use it:

• Highlight any experience working closely with others.
  • Assembly and manufacturing jobs will put you ahead because they show you can work on a crew.
  • Have you ever been part of a sports team or played in a band? You have coordination skills and understand when to lend a hand.
  • What about volunteer work? Volunteering always looks good on a resume! For you, though, it’s especially good to talk about when you helped during a crisis. What a team player!
  • Finally, you might have had a job inside where you had to cooperate with others. What better way to show you can keep your cool under pressure?
• Use phrases like “supported coworkers to,” “participated with other volunteers in,” and “worked together with other inmates to” when talking about your experience.

When you land an interview, here are some tips for how to get hired at CRC Surface Technologies:

• Re-read your resume the night before so that you’re ready to talk about your skills.
• Think of a good answer to these questions that many interviewers start with:
  • Why do you want to work for CRC Surface Technologies?
  • Tell us about yourself.
• Get prepared a few days ahead of time with what you’re going to wear and how you’re going to get to the interview.
• Spend some time daydreaming about walking into the interview room confidently with great posture, a nice smile and a firm handshake. Practicing in your mind what you’ll do and say will remind you how to act when the time comes.
• Do whatever you need to do to shake your nerves on interview day. Take a walk, workout at the gym, meditate or try another healthy way to relax.

Above all, remember all the small successes that got you to this point. You got this!

What felonies CRC Technology will not hire

CRC didn’t tell us if there were specific charges that would instantly disqualify your application, so we used our research to deduce which are most harmful.

What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?

CRC Surface Technologies relies on employees who are hard workers and good team players. Also, workplace safety is a priority. With that in mind, let’s look at convictions that might concern the hiring manager:

If you have a record that includes drug and alcohol offenses, that might be a problem. The company depends on staff who can show up to work and put in an honest effort without using substances.

What’s more, any history of assault-related charges will make the hiring manager think twice about hiring you. They need people who can cooperate with others on the job and control their temper.

There’s no evidence of this, either way. We think it will be a hard charge to overcome in their eyes.

It appears that the company does drug test. Their website says that they participate in the Federal Aviation Administration Drug and Alcohol Testing Program.
