I know I have to mention it when I renew my license, etc. And actually b/c I was so gungho a year ago when I was job hunting and in the monitoring program a lot of places have already heard the story. They just said they couldn't work with the restrictions, etc. and told me to contact them when I was clear. I don't have a problem sharing my story per se, I just want someone to give me a chance to show the strength I have gained through this experience. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks.
If you were in a voluntary program which kept your license clean, there is no need to disclose this info when interviewing, and I strongly advice you not to disclose when interviewing.
On the other hand, if your license has public record of discipline, you need to be upfront and sell yourself. I would also advice that you reapply to all jobs, and hope for the best. I would not assume that all HR departments keep track of people that they did not hire. and doubt that they would all document why you were not hired.
Congrats, and good luck!
