What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
Hello, I was pulled over for my first DWI in 12/08. I appeared in court on 1/09 and lost my licence for 7 months. I interviewed for a job this afternoon and the interviewer asked me if I have any criminal charges. I told him about my DWI and he told me that it was "ok". A little while later, a colleauge if his walked into the room and asked him if a DWI was a criminal charge. He responded with a yes. He stated that he was a police officer.
I am really concerned with this. They are going to do a criminal background check on all the applicants and based on that, they will move to phase 2 of the interview process. I do not have any previous criminal charges, just speeding tickets in the past. I want/need this job. Should I not get my hopes up for this position? Do I have a chance? Any help is always appreciated.
