You have a misdemeanor DWI and that is a criminal conviction that will show up on a background check unless you get a new trial and are acquitted which is very unlikely.

If you have been convicted of a DUI you will likely have to disclose the conviction if a potential employer asks. I usually suggest that being open with a potential employer is often more helpful than concealing information that may be revealed in the future especially if the position you are seeking require personal integrity and/or honesty.
