It depends on the jurisdiction in which you were convicted, if you have any other arrests and convictions, how long you have been on probation, whether you have had any probation violations, and when your probation is due to expire. Depending on your answer to these questions, and if you live in California, you would be eligible to have your conviction expunged: it would be dismissed, and you would only have to disclose the fact that you had ever been arrested and convicted (even if the conviction was later dismissed) if you applied for public office and such things.

Does informal probation disqualify someone from getting a job?
An informal probation may disqualify someone from getting a job. It depends very much what the industry your trying to enter is looking for regarding criminal records. From experience I had filled out some jobs applications that were only looking for conviction records. They weren't concerned with anything in between. Then there are other employment applications that ask specifically have you ever been convicted of a crime. If you have, you should answer honestly. But check this out, there are employment applications that would ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony or misdeamenor in the last 7 or 10 years. You answer know, but how about a judgement before probation show up in the investigation of your background and you do not get the job because of this finding. What you think about that?
