Jarrell - It may be difficult, but there are ways to make your job search more effective.
First, contact local human services in your area to see if they offer programs and support for ex-felons who are re-entering the work force. Try Metropolitan Family Services in Chicago as they may be able to help you find companies that may be willing to hire ex-felons.
Take advantage of what ever job you can, no matter how small, to start rebuilding your experience and credibility.
Don't overlook personal contacts and friends that will be able to vouch for your character and may be less wary to take a chance on you.
Above all else, be professional and confident. The right attitude and interpersonal skills will help you in the long run.

I hope this helps and good luck with your search!
