Fair-chance hiring leads - any advice?

A few employers in Columbus say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 13 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.
