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

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. I worked as a machine operator before this. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Did they ask about it in the interview?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 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.
