Question: If i pleaded to a theft by taking felony and I was a first offender I did probation, community, service and I paid a fine will that being on my record even though the clerk submitted information to the GCIC to update my file. Will it have an impact on me if I was trying to get a job in the medical field

Answer: You completed a first offender felony probation. Therefore on your record employers will see felony arrest and under disposition, they will see first offender. There is no sealing or expunging that. Will it have an impact? Of course. How much of an impact? That depends. It depends on the employers need (how much they need you), your competition (how many others that have no record that are going for the same job), if the employers understands what first offender really is, if the employer cares to find out what first offender is after they see a felony arrest on your record.
