felony friendly

I read an ad thru Hard2Hire.org which helps felons find jobs and CCA accepts F-5 that means if you have a felony is has to be at least five yrs ago. The back ground check only goes back 5yrs, so mine was 8yrs ago (non-violent)does that make me quilified for the job? Does anyone know anything about that? If so, can you elaborate alittle bit?

If it does you are very lucky out here in Ca I cant even get a trucking training course everyone I have been in contact with wants at least 10 years no felonies im barely going on 6yrs

I was able to get my cdl but no one will hire me and my felony is 18 years old. does anyone have any suggestions

I live in CT and have helped a few felons get back to work one is now licensed in bail enforcement. there are a few things you can do. the best is begin the proses of getting a pardon if possible. here in ct you can apply for one 10 years ofter completion of your sentence if you have not had any problems since.

that may not possible or may take a long time so there are some other things you can do to help improve your chances. many employers may look the time your were serving (if in prison) as negative, so you need to show that you grew as a person and as a potential employee during that time. be prepared to demonstrate increasing responsibility and trust as well as education (in a system that did not offer classes use self study). in a normal economy i would say look for an industry that is short of qualified people such as medical imaging or eye class technicians ( people that actually cut the glass for glasses) and enter that field.

in today's job market it is hard to do that because every market is being flooded with potential employees so i would recommend doing 2 things. first our government guarantees employers you will be good workers by covering them with about $5 thousand in the case you were to return to criminal ways and hurt the business. you should find out how this applies in you state and get a copy of the program that you can use with your potential employers. second your going to have a herd time convincing employers what the benefits are to hiring a felon. to help over come this i would suggest working with companies that have a track record of working with felons to get in the door, for example temporary agencies such as labor ready will provide additional security for companies. many of the people i was able to find work for started as temps then after a few months got hired.

Federal law says that employers can only go back 7 years on a back round check. It doesn't matter what state you are in they can not go past 7 years.

Well im looking for felony friendly jobs around Minnesota. Do anyone know where i can find some?
