I don't have TB, but if i showed positive on a skin test, will I show negative after treatment if there's such a thing. I worked in corrections for a while and want to switch to a healtcare related field & need to show negative on a TB skin test as a pre requirement.

Once you have tested positive you always will, even with treatment. If you have tested positive in the past you need to have a chest x ray instead of the skin test
