The answer to this question depends on who you are applying with. If you are applying for a job with a non-government organization like Walmart or similiar company, then the answer is you do not have to disclose it. If you are applying to a government agency then contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss specifics because there disclosure rules that you must follow and methods that you can use that makes you look better while still disclosing.

Obviously, the prospective employer wants you to disclose any convictions, especially if you are asked point blank on an application. If you have a certificate of rehabilitation, which are incredibly hard to get, then this would allow you a certain amount of wiggle room. If you don't have the certificate, you should at least get an expungement. The reality is that with a case that old there is a good chance that no one will ever discover it if you don't mention it. I do expungements often if you would like to discuss that further. Good luck.

It depends on the nature of the position and the exact question asked. You need to consult an experienced attorney conversant in such matters. Normally for a private job if you have received an expungement or a certificate of rehabilitation you do not need to disclose such convictions.
