I must say this is a great article I enjoyed reading it keep the good work
Thank You Ben,
I work with former felons; to re-integrate them into today’s world. Stepping out into the twentyfirst century…in the midst of a full-blown recession can be daunting at best.
I answer questions for ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs at my blog: http://www.howfelonscangetjobs.blogspot.com/
After reading you site, I found several articles to be very useful for me. I bookmarked your site!
Does anyone know if there is places out there in the construction area in colorado that will hire a felon before he is out of prison. My husband gets out in 6 weeks I am trying to help him get set up and a job is his #1 priority. So if anyone knows of any place that can help please let me know
Michelle,
There are @ 350 felon-friendly employers in Colorado. Felon-friendly however depends on the crime. If it was a violent crime that involved a weapon, that list becomes greatly reduced. If it is fraud and/or embezzlement that number goes way down. Your husband may have a better chance if he aplies to Mom and Pop businesses where background checks are less likely. Today’s business owners have so many applicants to choose from, that your hubby will need to send out 10 times as many resumes as someone who has a cleaner background. How are you doing Michelle? Do you have the necessary support and resources to prepare you for when he comes home? If there has been a history of verbal/emotional abuse please visit http://www.youarenotcrazy.com You husband will have a very difficult time adjusting to a world with so many chooses, protect you finances. Don’t let him go anywhere near a credit card. Warm Regards, Victoria
This is my first visit here, but I will be back soon, because I really like the way you are writing, it is so simple and honest
I have to say, every time I come to http://www.lifestagingblog.com there is another fascinating post up. One of my friends was telling me about this topic a few weeks ago. I think I will send my friend the url here and see what they say.
Hi, colleague! I love your blog, it’s so interesting! I think it’s pretty popular, isn’t it?
really appreciate YOU — thanks a lot!
Great article Thank
you so much!
Hello everyone thanks for
good information.
Very good sharing this.
It is a remarkable article. You send a very valuable message.
Thank you for sharing your insights; very good article. I found it to be quite useful. Thank you!
It’s really well done! Respect to author.
I searched for something completely different, but found your website! And have to say thanks. Nice read. Will come back.
Great sharing this.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
What are the chances of a felon getting a job with a marijuana possession with intent to distribute charge? This conviction is 6 years old.
Very good information, you write with clarity. I’m very lucky to get this information from you.
Josh, It depends on the interviewer/hiring manager. Most life-altering ‘oops’ occur when we are 18-25 years old. It is unlikely that the majority of hiring managers did not have their own ‘oops’.
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers

Kind Regards,

A great post, was nice reading it, cheers…
Wonderful post. Thank you for sharing!
Good article Thank you so much
Great experience! Thanks for this great post, Wow… it’s very wonderful report!
I loved this article!!! Thanks!
I have an11 year old felony conviction for theft. I havebeen out for 10 years now and have not committed another crime. I have found that most of the time just as soon as an employer sees the felony box checked on the first page of their application they no longer have any positions available. So with all that being said my question is this, what about those of us who made a mistake and are trying very hard to be productive with the rest of their lives? Help anyone??
great experience, dude! thanks for this great
Articles wow… it’s very wonderful report.
I really love the topic that you shared. Thank you for posting.
Networking will your greatest ally in seeking employment. Expand your network-socially, professionally, and exponenetially. Volunteer, work part-time, etc., but put yourself out there wher the tru you can be seen.
really appreciate YOU — thanks a lot!
Your site has really been helpful to me and I thank you for your time and effort working on it. Good Luck!
Nice dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you as your information.
Nice Information.. Thx for sharing this
information
Deborah, It may be helpful to volunteer for a duration. Even if you volunteer 4 hours a week for 2-3 years, it shows commitment, loyalty, perseverence, continuity, endurance, etc. Choose something that you are passionate about; Dumb Friends League, Food Pantries, Hospice, etc.. This will help you ’stick’. Drug use, distribution, and theft are the top three absolute no’s that an employer watches for. Add chronic unemployment and/or job-hopping and red flags raise all over the place. A larger corporation will conduct a background check each and every time. You will have better luck with a start-up, Mom & Pop Shop, or through networking; perhaps an Uncle, neighbor, church member would be willing to give you a second chance.
The bigger issue is…Why the need to escape? What you have described is a form of avoidance /escapism. You are worthy of love and acceptance…first you must love and accept yourself. Is it time to put a stake in the ground, move forward, and never turn back to former coping strategies that did not work then and certainly won’t work now? You are so worth the effort.
