I had an unfortunate incident 3year ago, where I had a ticket for selling tobacco to minor( I was a clerk). I was given a ticket, went to city hall, paid $160( I was not asked to go to court, or fingerprinted or got arrested as well). I paid the fine and that was all. My question is, I have completed my undergraduate now, and I am looking for adecent job. Will that ticket be considered as "convicted of a crime"? Also how would I expunge it off my records ( I was not given any terms of probation, since I never went to court or before any judges). How long will it take to get it off my record before I apply for any jobs. Please do help me, I am confused how to move forward. Thank you.
Call me if you need help.
