If you had your conviction "expunged" (dismissed pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4), you can tell private employers that youbhave not been convicted of a crime. It may still need to be disclosed in some circumstances such as professional licensing, becoming a peace officer or working for the state lottery.

I suggest you look at the language of 1203.4 (Google it) to see the benefits and restrictions on expungements.

Good luck.
