You need to contact an attorney to determine whether and when you will be eligible to have the arrest records sealed. You cannot have them sealed, unfortunately. But, if your offense is one you can have sealed, there is typically a 5 year statutory waiting period during which you cannot file the petition (it's the court's way of making sure you don't get into any more trouble). But, after that waiting period is over, you can file it. Once it's done, most potential employers will not be able to see those records.
Feel free to call me with your specific case information, and we can tell you whether your case is eligible to be sealed.
