    Why are banks & trading desks hiring so many new commodities traders ?

    Getting a trading job with a criminal record - possible?

    I did a few days in jail and worked for a BB. It was a mistake but still on my record. I have had to write a letter explaining to every HR once they run a background check. I am up front with it from the start and have not had an issue.
