If you were convicted, the conviction will appear on your criminal record.
You may qualify for expungement depending upon the state you are in.
Whether or not your prospective employer will detect a conviction depends upon the nature and extent of the background check they perform. If they will detect a conviction, advance disclosure is generally the best way to minimize its impact on the hiring process.
