Second-chance employers near Denver - any advice?

A few employers in Denver say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Any other leads?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Check your record before you apply so nothing surprises you. A free legal clinic helped me look.
