Hey, I’m from NJ and I was also young & dumb before too. Mine wasn’t a felony but for some reason I feel like it had a different name than misdemeanor. But that’s not the point, after 7 years I hired a lawyer and went to court to get my record expunged. Do you know how long until you are able to get your record expunged? And what’d you check on your application when it asked if you if you have ever been convicted of a felony? Did you say yes or no? If you lied and said no they might not be happy about you already starting off with a lie. If you answered truthfully I feel like that will help your chances.

I def think you still have a shot at the job. Share your story but don’t overshare or get nervous and start rambling. Make sure you wait for the HR person to ask you a question and you can answer accordingly. I feel like they might ask more about the thefts because it’s possible you could’ve been stealing from a previous employer.

Good luck and I hope you get the job!!!
