    Any idea how far back background checks go? I was arrested although not convicted of a DUI almost 15 years ago. I never went through the trouble to get the arrest expunged and now I'm worried it might effect future employment. Should I be concerned?

    A company can go back as far as it wants and a background check may reveal arrests, not just convictions. To be on the safe side have the arrest expunged.
