How long have you been trying? What have you tried? Have you reached out for help from any programs?

I don’t recommend lying. Have you tried relying on your positives and leading with those? Do you stall out at the interviews or do you not get there? Have you tried a letter with your applications? Thanks.

The whole statement when we apply for a job that states, “Having a felony does not automatically disqualify you from employment with our company” is BS! You can rest assured that if you ‘fess up to being felon you not only won’t get the job, but more than likely you won’t even get a courtesy call back letting you know that you didn’t get the job. I had to call one employer several times and found out this punk was ducking my calls. He finally had some lady tell me to stop calling or they would get the police involved. I said,” WHOA NELLY! I didn’t threaten anyone. I just wanted to know about the status of the position I applied for.” They replied simply not to call anymore. THe best thing to do is lie because until society gets its head out of its butt we will always have this held against us. The way people think of convicted felons is that they lump us all together in category. In my case I have a drug possession case where it was the first time I ever got in trouble in my whole life and the judge wanted to make an example of me because I was a teacher. If people hear I’m a felon then I might as well be a murderer, arsonist, wife beater, extortionist, etc. It doesn’t matter what I did because everyone has already made up their minds on our kind. I’m not a bad person, but I made poor choices. I will pay for it by not being able to get the jobs I’m fully capable of succeeding at. Most of us felons, you see, aren’t bad folk, but in truth we made bad choices that got us in trouble. What ever happened to a second chance? I know GOD doesn’t want us to lie and I don’t want to lie, but I feel forced to. I dress up nice and pray they don’t do the background check. Some places are blinded by my nice appearance and don’t do it, but that’s rare. Anyway, God bless and I pray Lord that we can all find a place to fit in.

I am a 40yr old woman with a felony for theft 10yrs ago. I have no prior record, and no preceeding record. This one thing has kept me from being able to take care of my children. I have not been able to find a job and have had to rely on “relationships” in order to keep my children housed, clothed and fed. This is bull! I am a decent person who did one thing wrong. I have to pay the price as well as my children for the rest of my life.

I have never served time I signed a plea in Marion County forgery X”s 4 and received probation. Sure that doesnt make any difference. I gotta get a job or whats the alternative??? They wonder why there is so many folks re-offending when the laws are the way they are. I am just lost and its not a good place to be!

It’s not completely true that no one will hire an ex-offender. While most places will turn their nose to anyone with a criminal background, there are the few places that prefer to hire minorities such as ex-offenders. I work at a re-entry facility that hires ex-offenders for a 6 month training program. In those 6 months we help our participants find permanent employment with higher pay, 90% of our participants leave from our program making no less than $10.00hr. The jobs are out there, you just have to know where to look. Stay clear of the medical industry unless your charge is 7+ years old, preferably 10. Warehouses are a great place, we have placed many a men with Wal-Mart. In addition to temp-to-hire services, checking with your local unemployment agency may prove useful as well.
