    Different country I know but I know a contractor in Ireland who has a conviction for personal-use cannabis and he's since become a contractor, 2 of the roles being in finance, one role being in a semi-state insurance company.

    My advice is to keep your mouth shut, and try to get a gig as if you would without a conviction (obviously a school is not wise). If they check and you fail, the worst that will happen is the gig is terminated (or you don't start). The chance of gig termination from getting found out won't be any higher than the threat of gig termination we as contractors all face.
