    Unhappy Had Misdemeanor Expunged, What Do I Put on the Application when Applying for Job

    I am a recently licensed vocational nurse in California and I had my record expunged in 2010. The Boards allowed me to take my boards exam and granted me my license after investigating what my record was about (had to give them a written explanation and court documents).

    Now I am the in process of looking for a job. I may possibly have an interview this week. On the application it asked if I've ever had a Felony or serious misdemeanor. I put no. Was I right in doing so? Do I let them know during my interview? I am afraid they will deny me the position.

    Quote Quoting What Will a Dismissal Do?
    Once all of your convictions have been dismissed:

    1. Applying for private employment: Under most circumstances, private employers cannot ask you about any convictions dismissed under Penal Code §1203.4. So, when applying for a job in the private sector, you generally do not have to disclose a conviction if it was dismissed or expunged. But, it is a good idea to read the Penal Code §1203.4 , the California Code Regs 7287.4(d) , and/or talk to the public defender in your county if you have questions about your rights and obligations regarding past convictions when applying for a job. Click here to find the public defender.
    2. Applying for government employment or a government license: On questions by Government Employers or Government Licensing Applications if you are asked if you have ever been convicted of a crime, you MUST respond with "YES-CONVICTION DISMISSED." In California, government employers and licensing agencies (except for police agencies and concessionaire licensing boards), will treat you the same as if you had never been convicted of any crime.
    3. You will not be allowed to own or possess a firearm until you would otherwise be able to do so.
    4. Your dismissed conviction(s) can still be used to increase your punishment in future criminal cases.
    5. Your prior conviction(s) can still affect your driving privileges.
    6. If you have been required to register as a sex offender as a result of a conviction, you have to make a different motion to the court in order to be relieved of this requirement. A dismissal will not relieve you of your duty to register as a sex offender. Your status as a registered sex offender will continue to be available to the public on the internet under Megan’s Law.
    7. If your conviction prohibited you from holding public office, you still cannot hold public office after that conviction is dismissed.
