Refusing chemical test SR22

Hey there! First, I'd just like thank you all for what you're doing on this site, really helpful stuff guys so THANK YOU!

Now here's the deal- 3 years ago I was pulled over for suspicion of DUI and I refused to take the chemical test. I was never charged with a DUI but the DMV suspended my license for 1 year for "refusing a checmical test by a peace officer"- this is the charge that appears on my record. I was doing some traveling and had no need to get my license so I put it off until just about a month ago. I past all the tests and got my class A reinstated, however, the DMV required me to get SR22 insurance.

So, (sorry for the long story here, I'm almost to the point) I recently went in for an appointment at a recruiters office. He ran my info and said my record looked good and nothing should be a problem. When I told him about my SR22 deal he kinda got a little quiet and said, "just never bring it up and it shouldn't be an issue"

Well that's all great here but I'm a little concerned any company who sees this is NOT going to hire me and I'm gonna be stuck with this (pretty hefty) tuition fee.

My question is: If a recruiter at a driving school accepts me and puts me through training does this mean my criminal and/or traffic record won't prevent me from getting hired at a company?

Thanks again for all the help everyone,

James
