Fair-chance hiring leads after 18 years as an accounts payable clerk

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 18 months. Did they ask about it in the interview?

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.
