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

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The HR contact was kind and direct. Did they ask about it in the interview?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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