It is no secret that finding a job with a felony record can be a challenge, but with persistence and some knowledge about the Indiana job market, felons certainly can find jobs in Indiana. To be successful in a job search, felons must use all possible resources available to them and be prepared to sell themselves correctly when opportunity knocks. Techniques for both of those factors will be covered here. Continue Reading

The signs of the current recession are showing everywhere.  No where more so than in the job market.  With the closing of many companies, people are now finding themselves looking for work in new fields.  People in the Indiana community are looking at jobs offering employment at the entry level.

Entry level jobs are actually easier to find than you might think.  As a rule the positions pay less to the employees than those offered to the skilled who have already been in the positions previously.  While job employment is down and profits are not as high, employers need these positions filled at a pay rate they can afford.

Many entry level jobs can be found using the temporary placement agencies.  Temp jobs are on the rise right now, and it would be in the interest of both job seekers and employers to use this venue.  If you are placed at a job by a temp agency, you will be able to show the potential long term employer your job skills, willingness to learn, etc.  These are things that an employer would be watching during a 90 day probation period.

You can find entry level jobs in Indiana in a variety of areas, Accounting, Medical, Construction, Computer, Administrative, even State and Federal agencies are looking for entry level applicants. Though with the government positions, there will be a small window of opportunity to apply for the job.  A daily check on their site under Human Resources or Job listings is suggested. The dates for application often vary from a couple of days to a week.

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.
