The best way is to just be honest about your past. Although your past criminal history might give an employer some pause, you should always add a letter of explanation to your application and mention that you would like to discuss this in person. Explain that you have taken responsibility for your actions and what you have learned from them. Be sure to add what you have done to better yourself since your offense, like going to school, job training etc. The one thing you do not want to do is deny an offense or put the blame on someone else. Practice what you will say when you are asked about your criminal history. Be prepared.
