Bullshit, a conviction is a conviction, there is no stigma about it. Regardless, that should not stop her for applying for any job she wants. And I would definitely not recommend she lie in her application. Best to come forward and not get caught in a lie.

Many (most) ask now if the applicant has ever been arrested .. be honest. Also watch the wording ... if asked if arrested, charged, or convicted for a felony, ...
also how old is the conviction? That can make a difference to an employer ... 10 years ago vs. last week?
She needs to get things straight in her head, work on the dialogue and responses she is going to give to the questions she may get asked, and try to develope an attitude (if it is true) that what she did back then was "then" and now is different. She needs to "shop" the employer to ... for instance with all due respect to Sarunga ... she might want to avoid an employer who was hiring her BECAUSE she was a hooker or someone like WU who apparently thinks ... once a hooker always a hooker!
