I am among the finalists for a position with a state agency for a job that I really want. I worked for a bit over a year at another state agency, where I received a very poor performance review and not other reviews before I resigned and moved on. The nature of the final hiring process for the job I am currently a finalist for is that I must sign a release that gives them access to any information about past employment with the state. I know that all the other references I am providing will give me stellar reviews and a good recommendation.
My question is, should I proactively mention this poor review, and ask for the opportunity to give an explanation and discuss the extenuating circumstances at the time? The "circumstances" are not related to the job, boss/supervisor, or co-workers.
Thank you for any feedback. It is very much appreciated.

It has been just under three years since I worked there, and have not worked at another state agency since. So there are no other reviews.

If you've got a bad review, it tends to be the answer for questions like "when have you failed". What's important is to prove/discuss what was wrong, and what you've done about it since. People make mistakes, sometimes performance isn't up to snuff. The important part is that it is no longer a problem. It's sometimes even an advantage for the applicant because it shows that they can receive negative feedback, and they do something about it.
A good interviewer/hiring committee will ask you about it if they have concerns, but if there is another interview/opportunity to discuss it yourself, you can take the opportunity to discuss it. This also can play in your favour because it means that you own your mistakes and aren't afraid to face them.
Good luck!
