Felon with old conviction needs a job
Lori Faith says the electrical program is challenging, but she’s hopeful the training will place her ahead of competitors for apprenticeships after her release from prison. |
Dear Sir,
Why, 31 years later, is this haunting me now more than ever? Thanks,

Felon with old conviction needs a job
Your difficulty finding jobs may be more a symptom of the present economy rather that you being a felon. Ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs are particularly hit hard by this tough job market.
As far as sealing your conviction, you may have to seek legal assistance to see if this is a viable option in your state. May I suggest your local legal aid office. There you will find low-cost or even no-cost assistance as well as advice on you options in your state, Check you local telephone directory for the nearest legal aid office. Bear in mind that sealing your record does have its limitations. It will always be visible to the court system, law enforcement and government agencies.
Next, I suggest to all ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs to visit their local One-stop Career center. One-stop Career Centers are underutilized resources that can provide a wide array of services that you help you find a job or start a new career.
