    Default Finding a Job After a Misdemeanor Conviction

    HI, ON THURSDAY I HAVE MY COURT ARRAGMENT FOR A MISDEMEANOR SHOPLIFTING CASE, AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS WILL COME OUT ON MY RECORD. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST OF THE TIMES, IF IT IS A MISDEMEANOR CASE, IT WILL NOT SHOW UP, BUT I AM VERY WORRIED AND AFRAID. DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? PLEASE HELP!

    Default Misdemeanor Criminal Record

    A misdemeanor conviction is a criminal conviction and will show up on a criminal record.

    If you get supervision and meet the terms, then they don't put it on your record but the arrest will always be on your record.

    Default Diversion Programs

    Presumably he means an alternative disposition, such as a diversion program or deferred sentence, where if you successfully complete a period of supervision the charge is dismissed or the conviction isn't entered. Such programs are not universally available, but it is certainly worth checking to see if any are open to you.
