If asked did you plead guilty, were you convicted, you should answer "No". If asked were you ever arrested, you should answer "yes".

If asked whether you've been convicted of a crime, you can truthfully answer no, since ARD is not a conviction. Most employers do not ask about arrests, and don't ask for a driving record unless driving is a part of your job. The ARD will appear on your driving record, and it will affect the employer's insurance, if you are driving a company vehicle.
