Driving Records Matter
Your driving record may still matter even if your job doesn’t require driving. Many employers are screening driving records in the interview process in order to help build an accurate risk model of you as a prospective employee.It might not seem to make much sense that an employer would screen your driving record even if the job doesn’t require any company driving. However, more and more employers are expanding their risk models to incorporate all kinds of background screenings on job candidates, including accessing driving records.
As the theory goes, someone who has a bad driving record is considered irresponsible and reckless and is a higher liability risk for an employer. In reality, this may or may not be true. On the contrary, there are many people who are bad drivers but great employees. But in this day and age of statistics and probability, many employers aren’t willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Be aware that you will have to consent to having your driving records pulled; you can always refuse, but you might not get the position.
