Second-chance employers near Baltimore - any advice?

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. It has been a long 15 weeks. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 3 months. Did they ask about it in the interview?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
