Aside from trying to get her conviction expunged, she should think small and try to target jobs at small companies where they may not have a human resources dept or hiring guidelines set in stone.

At small operations there's a good chance she will probably end up interviewing with someone whose primary job is not all about hiring people and she may be able to use her sales skills to build a personal connection/bond with the interviewer(s) and end up with a job because they believe in her as an individual.

Let her know that pretty much no matter where she ends up getting hired, if the employer is aware of her conviction, she will be watched every step of way for months and/or possibly years to come. She better come to terms with this now and be ready to deal with this additional stress everyday she is on the job.
