Give me help bout my DUI issue
Q : I have had a DUI two years ago and recently had a midomeaoner Domestic Violence charge. I recently had my fourth interview with a retail company that did a background check. I was told I was hired as long as there was nothing retail or felony related. I was called a week later and told due to my history I was not going to be hired. Is this due to state regulations? What can I expect in the future?
A : "I was told I was hired as long as there was nothing retail or felony related."
Well, I don't know what DUI convictions involve in your state -- even if they aren't a felony, that doesn't mean the person who told you this was not mistaken in their assumption that the conviction would have to be related to "retail" for you not to get the job.
As for the DV "charge", were you convicted?
"Is this due to state regulations?"
Doubtful, but how would we know from here? More likely that it's simply employer preference.
"What can I expect in the future?"
We cannot know the answer to this from here, but an employer is free to refuse to hire you based on conviction history. I'm afraid it's the price of breaking the law. You're free to talk with an attorney chance of getting the issues expunged.
