If I had a roofing company or landscaping? Absolutely would give a guy a shot at a job IF he interviewed well.

Well DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE YOUR PAROLED IN.. I know there’s some that got jobs roughnecking I know one who as weird as it is is contracted with a county sheriffs INTERNET CRIMES UNIT. The few others I knew went into construction and only 1 went back to school to get an education from a community college and the. Transferred to U OF NEBRASKA.

True, I used to work at a dental clinic they would hire anyone without conducting a background check first. one of my coworkers was a felon who turned her life around, it was hard to believe she was once a criminal, she was extremely great at her job and the sweetest!! but yeah if ur thinking of getting into the healthcare field go into private practices, and try receptionist/clerical positions, it’s easy getting into them since they really don’t do background investigations.

I had six convictions for interstate trafficking and sales of heroin and cocaine. I got out in 2007 and everywhere I went I was turned down for work. I couldn't even get a job at the recycling center in town. McDonald's wouldn't hire me because everyone looks down at you when you're a convicted drug dealer. I also have a friend of mine who had a job as a manager working for a regional clothing chain and was there 8 years and her boss came in one morning and told her that she's been fired because she didn't disclose that she did 20 for conspiracy to deliver and bullshit yes it is hard to get a job especially when they find out what you went for but of course in your situation you had an ex C.O vouching for you. I can guarantee you if you didn't have anyone helping you like most of us don't when we get out you would not have gotten as far as you did. It's a lot different when you have nobody to come out to and nowhere to go when you do get out. Michigan sends you out with $75 cash and that's all the fuck you get!

You can’t guarantee anything because nobody vouched for me lol I got a sales job doing telemarketing because I’m good at doing sales. Every single one of my friends did time and every single one of them has a job today. Construction , sales, transportation, truck driving one of my buddies welds on the military base and he did 10 years. Save the excuses for somebody dumb enough to believe them. If felons can’t find a job today they are 100% not trying

I got out and did well because I didn’t have a bullshit weak minded mentality that makes excuses. I started my company with $400 and today employ dozens of people. Keep making those excuses though and tell yourself the odds are stacked against you and see where it gets you. Nobody helped me my wife was dirt poor when we first dated we could barely afford an apartment combined but we grinder our asses off and stayed sober and made it.

@@TimeServedPodcast .. I ain't hardly weak trick and it's a lot different for females coming out then it is for men by the time I walked out every member of my family was dead. I maxed the fuck out on my shit and after losing my house and cars under our lovely confiscation law I'm didn't even have a house to come back to. It's been over 10 years and the police still harass me . I'm glad you had a safety net when you walked out and went home. By the way the one job I did get I got fired from when I found out I went to prison.

Do you have any tips on finding apartments? My boyfriend and I have been applying at different places in Phoenix and with his felonies we keep getting denied.

@TimeServedPodcast 2 ай бұрын

Sorry for delay in replying, unfortunately finding an apartment is extremely difficult as a felon. I got denied multiple times after I was released. Look to rent from a private owner instead, that's how I did it. Look on craigslist or the next-door app, but be very cautious of scammers and never give anybody money until you have met face to face and know they own the property. Sorry I can not be more help I know how hard it is.

Same thing with addiction, you'll hear addicts say "it's an addiction it's not my fault I'll never be able to get over it" in my opinion, coming from experience, it's all an excuse to not change.

I know felons can make it after being release. My brother is a convicted felon and is currently working at GE and is in electrician apprenticeship. He's hoping to get his journeyman's in a couple of years. However, i know life was hard for him. Had to rely mainly on family and government support. He did always say it was easier to make a buck stealing then working a 9-5. I guess having 7 kids changed his view point. Good video though.

I'm from NC and in the south they are tough on crime. Also, North Carolina doesn't have a limit on background checks. Which makes it hard to get a decent job.

Keep telling yourself that. I got plenty of friends who make well over 6 figures who have been to prison and a few who are millionaires. If you tell yourself it’s hard then it will be hard. I told myself I was gonna build a business and today my business has 40 full time employees. Don’t limit yourself with weak minded beliefs.
