    It's entirely possible that your poor spelling will be more of a hindrance to you than your criminal record.

    In OH, expungement and sealing ar the same thing. Your record will be available to certain agencies, including those associated with the health care professions. You will be questioned heavily about your record, so answer truthfully.

    Theft usually isn't enough to bar employment as an MA, unless you lie about it.

    The convictions were this past year?

    Don't expect expungement any time soon.

    When completing any school or job applications, read carefully how the questions are worded & answer all questions truthfully. They will most likely find out about your hx anyway & it's definitely better if you tell them ahead of time.

    You're going to have to stand it. You're extremely lucky to be having it done this quickly at all; most people have to wait several years before becoming eligible. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process.
