Hello.
I want to first thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this site.

Female Felon needs a Job
Hello Sue
Often the felon job search begins with a little legal assistance. I suggest you contact your local legal aid office to see if expungement is an option for you in your state. Legal aid could offer low-cost or no-cost assistance in this process. It will make getting a job a lot easier.
Next contact your local One-stop Career Center. The local One-stop is a full service employment center offering a wide variety of services including job placement to residents. There are computers, resume assistance and trained counselors that could assist you in your job search. Many counselors have experience working with felons. You may qualify for funding that could train you for a new career. You can find your local One-stop Career Center here:

Finally contact the United Way in your area. The United Way supports a large number of community organizations and could point you the direction of one that could use your skills. They could also put you in contact with women’s advocacy groups that may assist you in other ways.
I hope this helps.
