Employers that hire people with a record, Knoxville - what worked for you?

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 13 months. Has anyone worked at these places?

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.
