More details to this question:
I was charged with verbal harassment in February 2013 and the charges were dismissed in August 2013. I was offered a clerical job at a hospital 45 minutes from my house. They mentioned that they have to do a background check. Will the dismissed charges show up?

If you have not filed a petition to have the charges expunged, yes, they would be able to see the incident of arrest. I would strongly suggest having it expunged. Once that is done, they wouldn't be able to see it when they run a criminal background check, and you would be legally allowed to deny the arrest in that case ever even happened.
