Yes. You need to have your record expunged before it will be erased from your record.

Most likely you will have to reveal it because the employer can find it on a background check.

If it is a conviction, it will stay on your record forever. Employers will see it if they do a background check. It is better to disclose and discuss than to lie and get caught.
