Aint that the truth. i've been lookin for 10 months now applying everywhere...fast food, grocerie stores, small stores, warehouses, call centers, ect ect...everywhere!!! and not a damn job yet!!!!

I forgot my other blog: jailtojob.com/wordpress

my son is in work release in Jeff County Co and needs to find a job. he has 5th degree menacing felony. has to pay child support. who can help?

You know, you're right. Ex felons DO need to stand together, but the pfoblem is they WON"T. Most of them are only strong when they are in a gang or use a gun. I served 10 yrs for 2 counts of robbery (purse snatching) and have been out for almost 6 yrs but no one; employers, society and certainly NOT the government gives a damn about whether or not you have been rehabilitated.

Mr. Andrews, My name is Rodger and i am from Florida. Like Ga., The Florida prison system is a multi-million dollar industry. Its the largest money generating machine above tourism. sad right. Since my release the only job i have had is Hooters. Once Hooters found out i was going to school for paralegal studies they diminished my hours to the point where the debt income ration was lopsided. I have submitted over 200 resumes and over 80 applications. The school i go to only knows how to take , take ,take. Yet they wont give an inch. What was really sad is i spoke to an ex-district judge asking him if a convicted felon could be hired as a paralegal. He says come to school and get your certificate and i will get you a job. Well, because i was a certified law clerk in prison, the legal portion was fairly easy. I earned a GPA of 3.8. I did everything i said i would do in those classes. I drove an hour and a half to school in hopes this judge would get me a job. He doesn't return my calls or emails. Moreover, every time i inquired about it he always sang the same song and dance. When a person commits a crime and pays his debt to society, for some reason society seems to extract an additional punishment from that individual. Consequently, the second punishment seems to last for the remainder of that persons life. Its damn sure not fair. No matter what the person does in an attempt to better themselves, its not good enough because society will only remember you for what you've done. A crime is what you did, but it does not define who you are.Some of the best talent in the world is sitting behind the fence. Society seems to write these people off. Just like people who are sick and infirm, society wishes to do away with them as well as convicted felons. They don't want us to better ourselves because they ,make more money off us when we are behind the fence. This does not help the unemployment problem, if anything it contributes to it. All the advertisements concerning temp agencies are all a crock. I've utilized one so much they asked me to upgrade my account, and pay so employers will see my resume first. What a crock. This is why recidivism is so damn high. Moreover all the ads one may see who may be hiring, that's a crock too. The government pays companies to post job openings when really there isn't. I am out of options. Any comments/

In the state of Virginia, anyone can go to a magistrate and take out charges against a person. People do it all the time when they are mad at you such as a girlfriend or boyfriend or ex wife/husband or friend. Virginia makes it very easy to have a person arrested. People then go into court and lie to help get you convicted. It is not always about choices. A friend called me a name and I called him a name back and he took out false charges and paid a white woman who worked for him to come into court and support him I was then convicted of trespassing and now cannot find a job even though I have two college degrees-a bachelor's and masters. IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE CHOICES WE MAKE BUT THE EVIL OF PEOPLE

Yeah and that's why you are using an ALIAS that way no one knows who you are. Most of the ppl who do s**t like that most likely has some kind of addiction with children or some sick s**t like that. My screen name is Johnny D. which is my REAL name and if you don't know what lead up to a person commiting a crime like robbery such as myself then you need to keep your f***ing mouth shut. If you had all the answers I would call you God but you're nothing but a FOOL!!!!!!!!

I feel like that was out of line! We are all humans and every person that has ever made a mistake in their lives no matter what it is should not be treated or thought of in that manner if they are trying to make a change for the better! Si I'm guessing even though you know right from wrong, you've never made a mistake or a bad choice huh? If thata the case then you're not Human... And for that fact as an employer I wouldn't won't to hire you with a mind setvluje that towards people ! I wish you the best in whatever it is that you do and I pray for your out look and attitude towards people.

Well one thing I know about you; you don't know how to spell discuss I think you meant disgust!! Please How in the hell would you know anything about a felon

I wonder how many crimes you committed, but didn't get caught, walksh20. Did you ever sleep with a minor, or with someone else's spouse? Did you ever speed on the highway and put other peoples' lives at risk including your own? If you were to add up all the times YOU broke the law how much time would you get?? And don't say I never broke the law at any time in my life either. You may not have done what some others have done, but you have done wrong in your life. You...are no better than any one else, walksh2o- you have done wrong things in your life too, haven't you.

I know of someone convicted of welfare fraud that works for Suntrust. She got in as a temp and they liked her work so they hired her for full time permanent work. I do not know if she is just and exception to the rule or what. But I have a misdemeanor and two college degrees and Suntrust will not even interview me. and the misdemeanor is for trespassing.
