Fair-chance hiring leads - 7 weeks in

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. This is my first time dealing with any of this. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case.

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.
