It's going to keep some companies from hiring you, but others may give you a shot. You really won't know until you start applying to companies.
Okay thanks Brett. As long as one hopefully gives me a shot that's great. I know the rest is up to me.

This question is similar to a recent post. I was in an accident in my personal vehicle in May of 2018. I failed to yield in a left hand turn. I was at fault. There were no injuries in the accident. The responding officer's report listed me as being at fault. There were however no charges filed, no tickets, and no fines. The accident does not show up on my DMV driving record and I have no points on my driving record. I would still report the accident to any potential employer. I'm hoping that since my DMV driving record is clean with no infractions or points on it that this could hopefully make a difference. Can anyone offer input as to what impact this will have on getting hired? Thanks
