My company was acquired by another, much larger company. As part of the process, we have to fill out applications listing our criminal convictions and have our figerprints taken. Here is my question: I have a felony on my record for DUI (2004) and, as a result of all the financial strain casued by DUI, I had to declare bankruptcy in 2006. The new hire paperwork says applicants may not be hired if there is a statutory disqualification under federal or state securites and banking laws found in the backgroud check. Should I be really worried and start looking for another job because of the felony DUI and bankruptcy?
Please only serious answers! Thanks!

The new company is also going to do a credit check.

Do you have an SEC or FDIC license or bond?
Unless you do, there are no statutory disqualifications. I doubt 'very much' that a DUI is a bar to a financial services license anyway.
A bankruptcy is not a crime. If the new paperwork is only asking for convictions, then you don't have to tell them about a bankruptcy.
