I was arrested for a dwi. It’s my first offense. I’m currently looking for new jobs doing internal consulting. Do you think it will be reason enough the pull me from consideration even if I interview well?

You've been arrested, not convicted. When a criminal background check is done it will show up only as the arrest.

Now once there is a conviction, plea deal or whatever, that will also show up as the disposition on your record until you get it expunged.

I didn’t think you could get DWI expunged since they don’t want you driving a school bus down the line

This happened to someone my team had already made an offer to. It was my first time facing it, but thankfully in this case the candidate was upfront and contrite, and there was no injury or damage other than to his own vehicle, so he was not charged with an aggravated offense and we were able to get comfortable still bringing him on.

Answer questions honestly, when they're asked .If asked about an arrest before the background check, you gotta disclose it before the background check.

Consequences for lying or being less than truthful are far worse than just owning up.

Sorry, OP, but you were arrested because of a suspicion you were driving a vehicle while being impaired. Car batteries that die when the drivers of those vehicles are sober -- or, at least, not under suspicion of being impaired --- aren't the cause of an arrest for a dui. (I had a similar tall tale running in my own brain for years about speeding being the impetus for my dui. Fact is, speeding leads to tickets for speeding. Being over the limit and speeding leads to an arrest for dui plus speeding ; )

There is usually a question on the background check paperwork that asks if you were ever convicted of a crime or something along those lines…so even if you get the offer - it’s a possibility it could be pulled afterwards

Good to know

Depends on the company.

One of my previous employers didn't care about DUIs at all. Another former midsize employer had a zero tolerance policy and a DUI was grounds for immediate termination and would block your candidacy.

Was it a felony? If yes, it’s going to be a problem.

You’re getting ARD. You’re fine. For now it will show as arrest. No conviction.
