Seek to have it expunged by motion and application to the court. Feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
Re: misdemeanor petty theft
Like most convicted thieves, you are going to have problems finding work. I would focus your job search efforts away from the retail sector.
Re: misdemeanor petty theft
You should "expunge" your conviction which legally will allow you to say you have not been convicted on any job application. Expungement should also eliminate the conviction from at least some of the databases private employers use. You might get lucky and slip through the cracks so to speak.
