    Default Drug Arrest on Employment Background Check

    Hello. I was arrested for posession of cocaine about 2 months ago in Washington state. No charges have been filed yet and hopefully will not be. I since have moved to Arizona. My question is will the arrest show up on a standard background check by my employer, who is located in Arizona? I am sure they will do a national check.

    That will depend upon the nature and extent of the background check your employer performs.

    Agree. The thoroughness of the background check varies by employer - a lot depends on the job being applied for. A quite thorough background check would most likely be done for jobs working with children, law enforcement officers, employees handling money . . .for example.

    If they do a criminal check, the arrest will probably show up.
