I recently had a great interview for an IT Specialist role with NYS ITS. However, I have a recent DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) traffic infraction on my record, which was the result of a plea bargain. It is classified as a traffic infraction, not a misdemeanor or a felony. I fully disclosed and explained the situation on my New York State Police background check paperwork. Given that an IT Specialist role does not involve driving duties, what are the chances of this impacting the hiring decision? I’m really frustrated and anxious about this right now, has anyone experienced a similar situation, or does anyone from HR here have insight into how these infractions are typically handled?"
