ok, you need to stop over thinking & trying to sabotage your chances 
stay positive & be confident in your experience & yourself as a person. they wouldn't be wasting their time to interview you if they didn't think you were qualified for the job

Or maybe they will. I would go. Without expectation of what the outcome will be. And I would let her know about your license after you've talked in person a little bit. Once she gets to to know you, she might be more willing to stretch a bit...
I feel like I'm missing something. Your first call for an interview and it's as if you've given up already. as if you're afraid of rejection from past mistakes. shit happens, life goes on. go to the interview, be yourself, be honest and see what happens. all you know is how this HAS affected you, not how it WILL affect you.
Glad you're going Nikki.
In regards to wondering how many of these patients (or interviewer) has been affected by drunk drivers is completely understandable. Try to look at it this way; you made an error in judgement (we all have in one form or another), no one got hurt and you learned. In reality the way you feel about what happens makes you a success story rather than one of failure. You're human, if you give yourself a break someone else might too. XO

I only read the first post, but here goes:
Go for it. Your mind can come up with a thousand different scenarios of failure, but you really won't know if your driver's license situation will keep you from getting the job until you go for it. Be honest and up front with the interviewer, and leave your self-defeating thoughts at home. You can do this.
Your comeback is dependent on movement. Sending out your resume was your first move. The interview is the second move. Even if it doesn't get you where you want to be, it will make that step easier next time. The worst part of this process is the self doubt you are subjecting yourself to right now. So knock it off and get ready for your interview.

Go! Think positively. BE positive. Here's your action plan: 1. Go to interview! 2. Be positive! 3. Ace interview! 4. ??? 5. Profit!!
This.
Aww, Nikki, don't sabotage this with the false belief that you are less than who you are.
You are love and light and you have a beautiful gift of giving to share with clients.
And you deserve employment.
Go to this interview accepting the consequences of all of your life choices. If they ask, answer with authenticity, honesty, and self-compassion. Show them who you are and how you have grown.
BTW, your resume looks great.

Just go kick the things ass. you can't change the past. And part time can turn into full time 
And hey it's not like you ran around a festival with a hammer threatening to hit people, drove your car through a truck and then out the gate, then through several polls and told the investigating officer you were too fucking tired to talk to him.

Rockin the job isnt the problem...lol. I'm completely confident about being able to do it. It's just actually having the agency overlook my criminal behavior...This is what my fears are.
The interview is at 230...And the office location is only 20 minutes from the house, which is awesome.
The ad said that the part time could turn to full time...That is what I'm hoping for down the road, and also need to ask about it during the interview.

. I wonder how many of the clients were involved in an accident where a Drunk Driver was the cause... (even if they caused it themselves) What if the woman Im interviewing with, has a son who was killed by a drunk driver or something...?
What if the person interviewing you is a recovering alcoholic who will not be judgemental?

Would you let up on the criminal behavior thing already! You fucked up, you made a mistake. We learn from our mistakes and grow.
Focus on what you can do well and even if you do not get the position for which you are applying, they may have another one for you, or are able to refer you to one.
Focus on the positives!

If they run the Motor Vehicle Records they will see the interlock restriction, and the issuance date of the conditional license. if they need someone they will work around those limitations. Seeing as how the driving is "up to you" than there is room for interpretation on this within their policies. If their hiring policies clearly state that you cannot get hired if you have A, B,C, than that's another issue.
I see licenses run everyday for potentials that have questionable histories, and there are times where the person doing the hiring fights for the person despite the record. Go kick ass in the interview and make it hard for them to interpret you out of a job.
and to clarify someone's earlier question in NY, conditional licenses are only issued post conviction for drug / alcohol related offenses. Hardship privileges can be issued for the period of time from the arrest for the BAC to the time of conviction in court (guilty until proven innocent). Restricted licenses can be issued over suspensions for other reason not relating to drug / alcohol. ex:. failed to pay child support.

Yes. I was going to get a hardship license... Had a court date for it, but then they fired me, so I didn't even Need it.
Ok. Im off.
Thanks for everyones encouragement. Im hoping for exactly what you guys are saying... That they can make an exception and fight for me to have the job. I hope its possible.
