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

A few employers in Detroit say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I have been trying to stay organised about it. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 13 months. 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.

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