Given the age of the DUI that you received, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to see if you can possibly get the DUI conviction expunged. If you get it expunged then technically you no longer have a criminal conviction for it but the proceeding will still show on your record. Such might help you with your employment endeavor.
