Does this mean a person must have a clear history? What if you're honest in the interview and tell the person about prior convictions?

Background checks include any criminal past but they also will check your credit. Bad credit can keep you from getting a job because they figure if you are not good on your debts, you might not be good on a job. Its not fair but it happens.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNMym
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

For many jobs the only convictions that matter are those that have direct bearing on the job. For example, If you are going to be a cashier in a grocery store, your convictions should not be of a monetary nature. Now, that's just a rule of thumb. If you have truly learned your lesson, you may be able to convince the new employer to take a chance on you. It's up to your passion and commitment. Good luck.

They check your background to see if you have been convicted of anything directly related to the job you are being considered for. They will not run that background check until they offer you the position.
As for the other convictions, if they don't directly pertain to the job, then they can't disqualify you from the job. That is discrimination, and it is a federal crime. But if you have a conviction that is directly related to the job you are applying for, I think it best to be up front and explain things. Otherwise, keep mum. If it can't be used for qualifying you for the job, then it isn't important.

Criminal record mainly. Yes you can be upfront about the prior convictions. However, I would find out the company policy ahead of time on criminal convictions. Then go from there. Depending on the crime and the circumstances, you may be able to explain and they will give you a chance.

Depending on the job you are applying for as to whether previous convictions are a problem. If you are going to be working with children they would want to know that the children are safe with you, so convictions for child abuse etc would definitely go against you. If the job involves cash handling and you have convictions for theft this would probably go against you. But convictions for theft would not necessarily stop you working with children.

You need to admit to anything they will find on a background check. Normally, When they run a background check, you cannot have any felonies on your record and if you match up to what you background checks out to be, then they may keep you for being truthful and if the crimes you commited were minor and a few years ago.

I know some employers overlook little things like contempt of court charges for missing a court date, and DUI's (except jobs that involve driving).
My brothers are thugs and still manage to work.
If the job entails handling money, theft charges would probably exclude you.
If you are handling helpless people (daycare children, old people in a home, etc), abuse and battery charges would definitely exclude you.
