This website will help you to get a job. I've already started working, making $14.00 an hour! They realize that by giving me an opportunity to prove myself is the right thing to do.

Hey, i was just hired at Chipotle!

Furthermore, the economy is CRAP right now guys and even people without felonies are NOT getting jobs. I read an article about felons getting jobs and they did the following, in order to get a job:

1. on your resume, you need to list that you are from out of town, preferrably another county, at least 6 counties away from the county(you were convicted in) or another state altogether.
When employers do background checks, they will check the county you last lived in and three surrounding counties (tri-search) Do not list any past jobs or schools that are located in the county that you were convicted as it is those counties where they do a background check. For example, if you live in northern california and were convicted in northern california, you want to say that you are from southern california and you just moved to the area. With that, on your resume, you want to list jobs that are located in southern california (far far away from the county you were convicted in). Ideally, you can say you were self employed in "southern california" for a majority of those years, so that they have no way of verifying employment. You can even add in a few companies where you "worked" and give a valid address, just state that the company was in business, but it has since CLOSED down. If you actually know of a real business that closed down, that is even better!! As far as education, state that you also went to high school in southern california (FAR AWAY FROM THE COUNTY WHERE YOU WERE CONVICTED,) and give the address of the high school on your master application. Most employers wont request a high school diploma transcript.They usually only verify for bachelors and masters degrees where the pay is high, and is based on an education.
So understand this:
employers will do background checks in the counties that YOU tell them you used to work, live or went to school at. So therefeore, if you want to avoid being jobless and homeless, make it all up!!
I dont recommend doing any of this stuff as it is lying and probably illegal to falsify things on a resume. Now if you are going to be fingerprinted for a state or government job, DO NOT lie as they can charge you.

Wow...this comment section just lowered my hopes more...lol. I have 3 felonies due to an addiction I had. Two possession charges and one retail theft. I have been clean for a year and a half (incl. alcohol) and am on probation for 5 years. I am in Illinois and have taken classes through probation that help slightly in connecting you with people who help felons get jobs (also took care of 100 hrs of the 150 hrs of comm. serv. I had).

Anyways...I received a job through a temp company that I thought might be a scam cuz they wanted workers immediately...I had to sign 2 quick forms-one stating I wasn't doing drugs (I told him no problem) and one stating I had no felony convictions...this one may be a prob I said...he said they'd give me a chance. THATS ALL I NEEDED! I worked 3 months on an amazing temp job at a school just down the street (perfect seeing as my beautiful car was repossessed and bus runs right there). Afterwards I was given amazing references and was suggested to the Dean of the school to manage a project with others placed underneath me! I was interviewed and my resume is amazing....I have years of administrative work experience, my AA degree and great references...I never heard back from them. :O( Heartbroken as this would have been a management job paying $20/hr and lasting a year or more with chance of permanent position in my own newly created dpt. Unfortunately, THIS IS A SCHOOL. Not only a school but a school for children-special education children.

That was my first REAL job not hustling in maybe 5 yrs or more. I was so thrilled and because of my background I made sure I showed them I was worth the hire (i.e. worked rigorously skipping lunches, breaks, coming in early, going above and beyond, displaying knowledge pertaining to the job at hand, trained on new scanning hardware and software and even training others on the software. Devastated that I haven't heard back from them....Regardless, that job ended Jan 27th and it's now a fewmonths later with constant daily applications and interviews...STILL NOTHING!!! The company hired me to do the job through this temp agency I explained my whole past briefly and they offered me a job at their own company as I had proved myself worthy however we both agreed it wouldn't be fiscally worth it because of the amount paid and how far I'd be commuting daily.

Ok...I am blabbing...but I really appreciated this whole section and everyone's comments. I stopped being honest on applications now to try soimething new since my honesty isn't helping me....Still nothing but worth a try. If they find out after hiring at least I might get a couple weeks of work? Might be embarasssing when the felonies come up but perhaps I could explain I had thought a lawyer I paid sealed them but obviously they didn't but I am more than willing to speak about them...maybe they'll still give me a chance after having seen me work?

I know this was a long comment...I'll keep it short next time...Just venting I guess...I owe the courts over 5,000 restitution of 1,000+ which I have slowly paid over half...but I have to live too! I had an addiction and made my mistakes...I don't expect anyone to understand or sympathize but DAMN! Bond me or something and take a chance! Illinois offers employment bonding for those with convictions and it costs them nothing. It's a quick phone call and then they are covered if they experience any problems or loss due to me...Damn I need help. I am 31 years old...I really need job help

Good luck everyone. I liked this comments section and I like snag-a-jobs blogs and exfelongirls blogs also.

AT & T huh? Funny - my daughter applied with them and was offered a job but when she asked if they hire someone with a felony (dwi) on their record they withdrew their offer. How about that? so much for the list I guess. LOL

There are jobs available. I have a drug conspiracy felony and I am working three jobs right now (felony is only 2 years old). One of them I work from home typing notes and editing documents for $10.00 per hour. The other I started as an intern making $10.00 per hour, I was just recently offered a permanent part-time position making $15.00 per hour with full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401-, life, disability, and FSA) for 25 hrs per week (I have only been here for a year). The other position I work in HR at 15 hrs per week making $16.00 per hour with PTO -vacation and sick and other perks. Starting from the bottom may not be an option for a lot of you, but it will get your foot in the door. Two of my positions required reference checks only. And the other company did no checks (reference or background). There are some companies that are just more forgiving. When I got in the situation. I thought my life was over, but have faith and hang in there.

I'm applying at Target right now for a management position. I have pending felony charges for something right now stemming from a previous job 4 years ago. My lawyer states it could take another 6 months to resolve.
Will the Target background check questionnaire ask if anything is "pending." Would they see it anyways? I haven't been convicted yet.

Dont you guys get it ... theres too much money in locking you up so why would they want you to do good .... think about it

I have applied at walmart,k-mart,and kangaroo they all gave me the job but I couldn't pass the back round check, it's crazy how are you supose to become employed and make a living if no one will hire you.

that is a lie the dont hire felons

You can use www.xamire.com. It's a listing of employers and jobs in your city that hire felons. I've actually landed a job through their listing, and they really only post ones that will hire felons. They're new still though, and not every city has many listings, but hopefully people will help more that they've been on the news in many cities.

My husband is just on probation for 2 counts of burglary & can not get a job. He was a successful Chief Technology Officer of a with-holding company that imports a pop**ar Japaneses vehicle, (I am not @ will to mention the name of the manufacturer-I don't need a law suite) he had 3,000 (yes) 3,000 employees under him. He lost his job 8 years ago due to budget cuts, & has not had a job since then. I've lost not only a lifestyle, homes, cars, college education for my 2 children, 1 graduated & 1 to graduate in 2012. But my siblings cut me off, they think my husband is being a bum and not looking for employment. No one that is in this situation will ever fathom what it is like to look for employment & never get a response back for years @ a time. Then we have probation up our ass wanting monthly payments or his probation will be revoked. We survive on my $14 an hour job if you want to call that surviving. Toys R Us won't even hire him to assemble bikes for Christmas. This is insane. He can't even get a job doing manual labor landscaping, you have to be bilingual these days, or so that is the answer they have come up with not to hire someone with a record.There is no light @ the end of the tunnel, he just wants a job, any job, he wants to feel productive and earn money again. Thanks for reading. Thanks for posting your thoughts so I know I'm not alone, he is not alone, & we are not alone in this discriminating world. Good luck to all.

can't you just check NO on the app where it says, '' Have you ever been convicted of a crime ? ''

This company done'nt hire ex offender is a false statement...

Jobs for Felons

Its a jacked up situation but also reality: society isn't very forgiving for those of us who've racked up jail records. Your best option is to rely on your own resources and create your own business. You don't need any special degree to go to work for yourself. I used to burglarize houses years ago. So I flipped that knowledge into a business where I consulted homeowners on how to burglar-proof their homes. And they know I knew my stuff; I had the record to prove it! A simple business license from the county, some free biz cards from Vista Print, and a free ad on Craigslist did the trick. I went from an inmate to biz owner overnight. Use what God gave you, and use your life experience. All it takes is a little ingenuity and a made up mind to succeed. Bunk getting discouraged! Discouragement is for sissies!

You guys kill me, Life is about choices whether you are young or old and you made yours I was young just as many of you were and I knew what was right or wrong just like you did. most of you decided long ago that you were not going to follow the rules and now you are paying for your mistakes. heaven and hell? sorry to inform you that they are both here. Just like Satan you have been cast out because of your crimes against society and we don't want you. Being your next victim as I read earlier, go ahead, the next time we catch you maybe you will kill someone and then you'll be be just where we want you executed or life in prison either way you will be put out your misery.When I think of all the people that struggled to make away working two or more jobs to support their families and now reading your cry baby whines discuss me. You are all losers and deserve whatever you get. The reason no one wants to hire you is because no one will feel comfortable supervising you knowing your past, where you see yourself as normal, we see you as sick and can't be trusted.

This site is complete bulls**t. It makes me laugh. I got a felony when I was 17 and charged as an adult. That was 6 years ago. I am well educated now and cant find s**t for a job. All kinds of call back and interviews, even with the economy the way it is. We are all f**ked!!!

to work at an airport you have to go through a 10 year old fbi check. Some felonies will forever bar a person from working for an airline, but some will not.

the best place for a felon to even try is a distribution center, temp service or learn a trade. I was told you cannot get financial aid for school with a drug conviction... lie as long as you haven't been convicted in the last 6 months you can get financial aid... learn a trade and try your own business. Its super hard for felons. If your downsouth Kroger distribution centers hire felons

Who OKed this list to be posted? About 90% of the companies listed will NOT NOT NOT hire felons...or anyone w/ a record for that matter. This is just a hateful joke, to get people's hopes up.

The next felon who gets a job at one of these company please post your success, I'd like to see if this information is accurate or just a ploy to get people with felonies excited about the possibliity of employment fortune 100/500 company.

Fantastic list and already bookmarked it as I know a lot of people who can use this. I help felons get their foot in the door with companies with tips and tools at
