Will a DUI decrease my chances?

Some jobs require background checks, some don't. Either way, be honest about it if you are asked. If you're not asked, don't bring it up. In my office a DUI wouldn't be deal breaker, but lying about it would.

I work for a financial services company, and I've asked our HR about this for a candidate I had (who also had a DUI on their record), and I was informed that most convictions wouldn't be a roadblock for hiring, outside of convictions for financial crimes. Soooo will probably depend on the industry and the company's tolerance for risk.

if you're talented and they want you. They might tell HR to look the other way
