Felon Job Search in Indiana

The economy has put a real pinch on the number of jobs available across Indiana.  This has caused an even greater hardship on those who have been convicted of a felony and are now available to return to the job market. With the increased competition from the non-felon community, and the strike against the ex-felon, the Indiana job search must be refined.

When performing the job search, an ex-felon needs to keep in mind that he or she will need to work in a place where they can prove that they are reformed.  This is accomplished most often when working side by side with the owner or general manager of the business.  Thus it would make sense to seek out small companies.

You will also want to look for employment in jobs where your felony conviction has no bearing on the type of work involved.  For instance, if you were convicted of neglect of a dependent, you should not apply for  work in a daycare, nursing home, or school.  Likewise, you will be hard pressed to find work in a convenience store, or retail establishment if you were convicted of robbery.

One of the best bets for the male felon, and many females as well, are jobs that involve construction.  Not only will the ex-felon be able to prove that they are worthy of the job, they can and will progressively gain skills in the field that may assist them in future jobs.  Perhaps eventually the ex-felon will then be in a position to start and run their own company using the skills they have acquired.

    Your problem is that there are not many jobs out there for teenagers. You are competing with older teens and people in their 20's. Most places are going to favor the older teens, over the younger ones. You can certainly try. I wish you luck.
