Employers that hire people with a record, Milwaukee - first time posting

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The HR contact was kind and direct. Any other leads?

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

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