Getting a job in the finance sector with a small misdemenour

[sumo19]

Hello,

I am currently a 1st year student at a top 5 business school. I was fined £50 recently because in the opinion of the police officer I was 'drunk in a public place'.

I am now worried sick that this will affect my future chances of gaining employment in this sector. By paying the fine I did not admit guilt and there is no record of criminal conviction against me, but it is a recordable offence.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's response to this, especially people who maybe work in this sector and/or work in recruitment.

Thank you for any responses in advance.

You are worried about being drunk in a public place and want to work in the finance sector? Haven't you been readin the press over the last few years? Being drunk in a public place is a basic qualification for them, being incredibly paralytically smashed out of your head is even better.......... Super Macho!

Your conviction should not bar you from obtaining any futurre appointments.
