I feel sorry for her since I was let go as a "yout" for things far worse than possessing a fake ID.

I am not positive, but I believe job applications only ask about felonies, not misdemeanors. This should be a non-issue.

Many applications ask whether the candidate was ever arrested, whether for a felony or a misdemeanor, and convicted. Our firm does.

A lot of companies review your Facebook postings. I wouldn't go overboard discussing it with your online friends.

People have lost many job opportunities when their posts included how "wasted" they got last weekend or any other nonsense that would concern a future employer.

She may wish to wait a month and Google her name to see what comes up. A future employer might do that.
