Employers that hire people with a record, Boston, graphic designer here

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. I am in Boston, in case local advice matters. The HR contact was kind and direct. Has anyone worked at these places?

Be honest, brief and forward-looking when you talk about it. They care more about what you did since.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
