First offense Dui

[james78]

What is the name of your state? California Just wondering if a first offense Dui Charge will greatly affect future employment.

Any criminal conviction (even if it's a misdemenor) could potentially greatly effect future employment.

You were talking about security clearances ... convictions are not the only thing taken into account there.

It could have very serious implications on any jobs that involve driving, for obvious reasons. It's also likely to haunt you on any job that involves working with kids or even the elderly.

Other than that, I wouldn't expect it to cause you too much trouble, especially once you put a little time between yourself and the arrest. Of course there are no guarantees since in most cases, employers can hire you or not based on the direction of the wind that day...
