Employers that hire people with a record, Sacramento - 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 15 months. Has anyone worked at these places?

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.
