Ok guys.......here's what I know. It depends...there are several types of background checks, some go much deeper than others. I got an excellent job after my DUI at a communications company......I said nothing, they said nothing. I went to a big cable company, they dug deeper. I had told the supervisor beforehand if it would be a problem. She said no, I am not driving for them....that time it came back and it showed. Quit there.....went for a job that had a COMPANY VEHICLE. This was only 2+ yrs after the DUI.....got the job even though it showed. He said as long as it was longer than 2 years ago. I also got a p/t job this Christmas season in retail. Background check, nothing on the driving. It depends on how deep they go. You probably would not get a job driving a bus full of nuns or as a taxi cab driver but there is hope. They don't care if you aren't driving for them. I experienced alot of anxiety over this until I learned all the facts.

Hope this helps.
