Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was arrested in 2011, when I went to court I was placed in one of those pre-trail things, I completed it. What I need to know is since I completed the pre-trail thing does that mean that the charges were dropped or what do it mean nothing ever happened after that and I am trying to get a job now that does back ground checks I need to know what to tell them.
