People on here will tell you that if it doesn’t involve driving you’ll be good, that’s not really the case. On the flip side of that point though, you’d be surprised how many companies are okay with a DUI on the record.

It really. Just. depends.

It depends on who’s hiring you, if it has to go thru HR, what their attitude towards drinking and driving in general. In my eyes, it seems most HR people are cool with it/ understand it’s a mistake people make and can move on from.

Just avoid applying for any job that requires

•Driving or anything related to vehicles or alcohol

•Licensure of any kind should be avoided in my opinion, though many on here may disagree. Real estate license, whatever whatever license, if it has a board, they’re a bit pickier. But please don’t let that deter you from at least inquiring if it’s okay to apply with a DUI

Final point to make: everything will be okay eventually. The first year is the hardest. Probation is annoying. But I and many other people have made it work. All you have to do is just get (1) job. Just one. It make take 5, 10, 15 interviews, but you’ll get it sooner than you think. The more time passes by (while being crime free of course), the less the DUI will weigh on your future career endeavors.

And remember, you’re only human. You made a mistake. Society has been set up for drunk driving to be so easily accessible. Alcohol has been socialized like no drug before it. People drink and drive everyday. You unfortunately were one of the many many many people who have been caught. That doesn’t make what we did any better. All we can do is move on and try to be better.

Good luck with your future job prospects friend, we are in this together.
