It is possible; you may want to make sure your record is expunged first. If it is expunged it should be as though it did not exist. That can take some time. The only alternate is to tell them what happened; being arrested is one thing, being convicted is another, and you could explain what happened. But it could affect the job offer in another way if you did not answer honestly on any job application about any arrests; falsifying a job application is a pretty sure way of not getting hired or even being fired for no other reason. Otherwise sorry there is too little information to be able to help you adequately.
