Will a DWI show up on an employment background check?

In New Jersey, DUI is not a criminal offense; it is a traffic violation. Therefore, it will not show up in a criminal background search ever and you can honestly state on any application that you have not committed any crimes, felonies or misdemeanors (assuming that the DUI and any other traffic violation or ticket are the only items in your background). The only way it will come up is if your employer looks at your driving record (usually only if driving is a critical part of the job) or if the employment application specifically asks if you have had any traffic violations. Other than that, your employer will not find out and will not be required to say anything unless there is something in particular on the application or employment agreement.

Can you become a correctional officer with traffic tickets?

As long as you've paid the tickets, there is nothing in such offenses to disqualify a person from working as a Corrections Officer-- although rules regarding these matters vary from state to state. What's most important, of course, is the types of traffic offenses for which the tickets were issued. Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) are pretty serious traffic tickets and can have an adverse effect on some employment opportunities. Provided that any tickets of this sort are isolated, they are not likely to prevent your occupational pursuit, but your best course of action would be to enroll in any "traffic school" courses offered by your State Police.


Will you be able to pass a background ck in wv if you have a misdameanor for domestic battery?

It depends on who is doing the background check and what they are looking for. Background checks are typically run by private organizations for licensing or employment purposes. Generally, employers specifically say that they aren't interested in minor traffic offenses. Likewise, they may be willing to overlook certain misdemeanors or even felonies, depending on the circumstances. You should talk to whomever is doing the check about your circumstances before the check is complete. They are much more likely to work with you if they believe you are being honest about the situation.
