Fair-chance hiring leads - any advice?

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. I am in Milwaukee, in case local advice matters. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 9 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.
