I take full ownership as it was my fault and my fault alone for the bust. I elected to continue the ride and flew each maneuver thereafter to ACS standards. I'm a 40 year old career changer hoping to fly professionally I guess my question is does this bust hold more weight in the eyes of any future employer since it was a Commercial ride. Thanks in advance for any insight.

A failed checkride(s) can be turned into a positive learning experience as long as you learned something from the failure.

Problems start occurring when a pattern of failures show up on your record.
