    It might. Companies have literally more than a thousand people applying for 15 or 20 positions, so they can be as picky as they want. Hang in there, though. Someone in HR might have some scruples and realize that excluding someone based on a minor thing done while young is pretty extreme.

    If you haven't wised up already, don't do drugs and avoid things that will get you arrested. Most companies drug test and do background checks. Good luck.
