Employers that hire people with a record, Detroit - 14 months and counting

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The HR contact was kind and direct. Has anyone worked at these places?

Check your record before you apply so nothing surprises you. A free legal clinic helped me look.

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