    It's not the arrest that matters so much–it's a CONVICTION.

    It will show up before you go to court. As soon as the court gets the paper work and is processed into there system. I would gues anywhere from 2-5 weeks.
    A DUI cannot stop an employer from hiring you. Unless you are applying for a job that requires you to drive, because you now do not have a license.
    What state do you live in? You can check your record online.

    It will show, but it will show that you have been charged not convicted. (Innocent until proven guilty).

    Provided you aren't applying for some sort of driving job or government security job I think you will be ok.

    Normally employers are looking for either theft related charges or sometimes sexual or violent charges if you are in a position of trust like in a nursing home or day care.

    Arrest dont show on your record, only convictions do. If your under 18 first avial no, no it wont show on your record at all, even after you turn 18. Everything until then is considered classified (at least in my state) 2ND if your found guilty just flat out tell your new boss, theres a good chance hes going to figure it out anyway, Why dont just be honest, honesty goes a long way, 3rd DUI isn't a very serious crime, Well…it is but its not a violent crime like armed robbery for instance. Unless its a government job or a job that has to do with driving. I dont see why you wouldn't still be able to get the job. Dont worry.
