Juvenile Offender - case still in progress. Can I apply for a job?
Find answers to your legal question.

I was arrested for a crime, received juvenile offender status and case will be sealed when its done with. I had arraignment (i think) and my hearing is in 18 days. I want to apply for a job, will I have to mark "been arrested/convicted" on a application or not because it will be a sealed case (when its done) ?

Should I wait until my sentencing date to apply for a job?

i'm confused.

My suggestion is to wait until the hearing is over and then you will know what the out come is for you.

If the case is going to be expunge/sealed then it will show like it never happened.

To be completely technical, you have not been convicted, as far as i understand your question, but you have been arrested. If the box reads exactly are you have it written, i understand that to be "have you been arrested OR convicted", in which case you would have to answer yes. If it is worded differently and is specifically asking about convictions, i think you could honestly answer "no" because you have no been convicted....yet.
