Second-chance employers near Knoxville (update)

A few employers in Knoxville say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Any other leads?

Be honest, brief and forward-looking when you talk about it. They care more about what you did since.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
