Employers that hire people with a record, Minneapolis after 12 years as a quality inspector

A few employers in Minneapolis say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I worked as a quality inspector before this. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Did they ask about it in the interview?

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.
