Hello everyone,
I had a few question that I would so grateful if someone could help me to answer. I’ll try to be brief so it not too long of a read.
When I was younger 17-21, I did a little too much partying and manged to get a DUI at age 19 and again at 21. Since then I have corrected my behavior and stayed out of trouble. I will be finishing my PhD next year at age 33. I would like to apply to a job with federal government. On USAjobs the types of positions I will be applying to list “Position Sensitivity and Risk” as non-sensitive or moderate risk and “Trust Determination Process” as Credentialing or Suitability/fitness. The security clearance is listed as not required. Some of these positions also require use of a government vehicle.
The plot thickens a little bit because the other day I received a letter from the state where I received the DUI that I had an unpaid fine of ~1,500. I was unaware this fine still existed. I paid the fine immediately after receiving the letter so its gone now.
Will my past stupidity prevent me obtaining these type of positions? Will the random fine I did not know about play a roll in anything now that it is paid off? Will two 11+ year old DUIs prevent me from being able to drive a government vehicle?
Thank you very much for your help.
