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

A few employers in Knoxville say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 6 months. Any other leads?

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

Ask the workforce centre about bonding programmes. They sometimes help employers feel comfortable.
