Employers that hire people with a record, Albuquerque - any advice?

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. Any experience at all would help. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Has anyone worked at these places?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
