Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Need help

I recently entered into the ARD program. I forgot to ask if I apply for employment and they do a criminal check, does it show up? I'm in the program for 18 months. I need to get a job but not sure how this would affect me getting a job.I asked my friend's sister because she's in a ARD program and she said she didn't know either. She has to go to court on a technical violation but I remember her signing a paper to extend it. They can't do that, can they? Neither of us can afford legal and don't know if just asking a public defender would be possible since they have so many cases and don't have time for chit chat. I guess I'm asking more qustions than you guys can handle. Thanks for the advice.

Until you complete the program the arrest will be on your record. However, in PA employers may only consider convictions.
