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

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 6 months. Has anyone worked at these places?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
