Yes, but in order to complete your deferred sentence which I assume you are on probation for, you cannot violate. And once you complete that probation, your case will be dismissed? What that says to potential employers is that at any time you violate your probation you will be slammed with a conviction. This does not bode well, especially in the field you choose to work in. Just know that although deferred is not a conviction, it has the potential to be (unlike dismissed cases, of course).
