Here's my situation, I resigned my safety sensitive position because I failed a drug test for marijuana. I only worked at the job for 4 months so I am thinking of just leaving the position off of future job applications. From what I have been reading, it does not seem clear that a future employer may necessarily find out about the previous job unless I bring it to there attention. If I am not a current CDL holder, does a future employer have a way of finding out about past drug test result without talking to my previous employer.
I know I screwed up badly, I had an argument with a subordinate employee right before the end of my shift and I was still hyped up about it when I got home. I went into my wife's stash, took a couple of hits to mellow out and go figure I got pulled for a random the next day. I did so little, I thought I would pass but didn't.
I did have a great career in the transportation industry for thirteen years but due to stress and burnout my interpersonal relations suffered at work and I eventually lost my job. I was out of work for two years before this job came and offered me a chance to rebuild my career but I am afraid I have made a complete mess of my life. While I was out of work I went and got a post bacc. certificate as a paralegal but I haven't had any success in finding a position in the legal profession. I want to start again as truck driver and try to move back to management over time. My hope is that I haven't torpedoed my chances of doing that. By the way, did I mention that I have 20 year old felony conviction. I've really done a great job of mucking things up. Any advice or information would be most helpful.
