The criminal record thing really only comes into play if its a sensitive job. If its a job working with kids in sub saharan africa and your on the sex offenders list we will find out even if you try and hide it but if you happened to kill your wife 20 years ago, declare it, and the job isnt a highly stressful job then you might still get that interview. I've seen it happen.
