My question involves a background check in the State of: MN

I was caught shoplifting a year back. Received a summon from an officer but didnt get fingerprinted or mugshots!! Hired an attorney and he handled the case well.. The case was dismissed and I left the court paying some court fines.

I am planning to get a job now. I have been worried that this will show up my record. However, while I am filling up job application form? How do I answer the questions "Have you ever been convicted of crime?" Also, i read in some forums that conviction and being arrested in different. I mean if the case is dismissed its not convicted. Please throw some light in this matter!!!

Also, I am planning to get a CNA degree! Will this create any problems!!

it will be very appreciated!!
