Second-chance employers near Little Rock - any advice?

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. It has been a long 13 weeks. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. 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.

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