Hi, I was arrested on a misdemeanor this year for which I was able to enter the diversion program in my county. As long as I have my community service obligations fulfilled before my court date next month, the record will be expunged. My question is this: while I am in this program will this incident show up on a background check? The verdict was set-aside until my court date next month and the application I am filling out only requires me to note any convictions.

First off, misdemeanors or rarely investigated on job applications. Most forms only ask about felony convictions.
If the record is expunged, then there is nothing to worry about. Just talk to the judge's bailiff and ask to make sure that the paperwork was handled properly.
If you must turn the application in immediately, call the judge's bailiff and ask for advice on how to answer the form. They will have a better idea about your current legal standing.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNWmd
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

it depends on how long you are in the diversion program. if it is for a short time and record is going to be explunge, then probably not. but if applying for a job, only tell them about felony convictions. if you are a minor and are going to be 18 or 19 soon, i wouldn't tell them about any convictions.

Who's doing the background check? If a private employer then no. A law enforcement entity, then yes.
