So there's the ticket. jobs for felons

You, sir, are taking this whole jobs for felons in georgia thing incredibly seriously

Lots of words here in reference to jobs for ex convicts

Glad to have a bearing on jobs for felons in chicago now

Impossible to say much more concerning jobs that hire felons

You kids and your jobs for convicts

First I would like to start off by saying thank you to all the companies that look away from what the criminal history records show. I respect those employers, because ex-felons only want to start off fresh but it is really difficult when employers judge by past actions. Good luck to all those looking for a job with a record.

Glad to be on a site that has something to do with jobs for people with felonies

well my friend got out of prison and he just got hired by a warehouse company.
the website is workplacewarehouse.com. unfortunately. i didn't get my call yet but i did receive $200 check from them in the mail two weeks later. i was chosen for submitting a application. but i thought i would share.

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.

I can add a couple in Hawaii:
Roberts Hawaii, Inc.
Labor Ready

guys I know first hand about being discriminated against because of a past felony, its like they want you to go back to jail, then complain that convicts are in and out of jail. doesnt make any sense to me. I found an opportunity, if you guys are looking to start your own internet based business, its free to start, go to www.exconopportunity.info dont be afraid to be successful. these people could care less about your backround..

hi who ever reads this and thank you i have had a felony since 1982 i have had alot of good jobs in the past since the economy has sunk really bad where i live in FL i have convinced myself that i shouldnt apply for a job because know one will hire me because of that i let my boyfriend take care of everything which i now realize is very selfish by reading these comments i realize iam my own worst enemy it was intrapment i was still wrong though now that iam much older i have to stop using that as an excuse i feel like i have lost myself life is short si want to start to live again

You can go ahead and remove Wal-Mart and McDonald's. They do NOT hire felons.

If we all get together we could take over the blue collar work community, or just create a massive crime wave.
I have benn applying on this site for awhile with no luck...just like the joint, nothing coming!

My initial reaction was one of disbelief and a little harsh for the list of companies hiring felons...as another commenter posted his story, I do agree with the fact that you can't expect someone to help you in any given situation as far as corporate hiring is concerned...be the best you can and don't worry about the negativity...I for one have college degree and many years work experience haven't been able to find a job the last couple of years that have lasted...must be a reversal of fortunes at work...possibly the next four years will result in greater job growth...i would look into self employment opportunities...maybe mechanics, forklift operators, etc. I myself have a notion where I am ultimately looking to invest and purchase a business...best regards...and best of luck...right there with you...

I'm sooooo Tried of being shut down and they wonder why we go back!

yeah this site is crap, this one and many others include places that don't actually hire felons, such as mcdonalds....my friends mom is a regional manager and told me straight up that mcd's won't hire felons....neither will walmart, or dollar general, or dominoes, ect ect. how in the hell are we supposed to live when no-one will hire us. and they wonder why so many people go back to prison...

Its not always about bad choises, sometimes a person is a victim themselves and because they were convicted of a crime they did not commit they pay the price right a long with those that did. My soon to be husband has spent 25 years of a life sentence for a crime he did not commit..he has spent half his life paying for someone elses mistake. Even the court said he didnt do it but because he was there at the time he was sentenced also..the other guy confessed but the court said he provided the means for the crime to be commited so he was quilty too..its very unfair for people to judge others before they have had a chance to walk in their shoes...only God has the right to judge.not you..

Where do these sort of lists come from? There are absolutely no companies who hire felons, i.e. NONE. Someone suggested a temp agency. A temporary agency will disqualify you once they find out you have a record. There are a lot of people offering false hope and calling themselves "career counselors" or vocational rehabilitation. It is all b.s. There is nothing they can do for someone with a felony except get themselves paid by the government.

I smelll bull s**t 10 years out here and Baskin & Robbins isn't hiring no felons

I use xamire.com to find jobs that will hire me - a person with 5!!! felonies (some are violent) and got a job through one of their listings in my city. I tried walmart, but the person told me that walmart personally doesn't say no to felons, it's up to the person doing the hiring, and she just wasn't comfortable with it, which I had to act like I understood (even though im mad) but nevertheless, I got hired at some place better.

For those (with a record) who need help finding jobs..

I have found several employers that will hire felons. 1. Denny's Restaurant any amount of time out. 2. Hyatt Regency, Marriott.com (all marriott properties), sheraton.com (all sheraton brand properties (5 years since convicton) 3. Blockbuster video and Aramark corp. I personally know they all hire felons. Good Luck

This list isn't accurate. I currently use xamire.com for looking up employers, but the list isn't filling out fast enough. The community is pretty good though, and the information in the state groups is pretty accurate.

Im coming out of San Quention Prison on December 20th 2011. and im looking forward to be free. but where do I start to find a Job, a place to stay. My sister who lives in Daly City just lost her lease on her home, and Im not sure if i will be able to move in with her if and when she fines another place. I cant go back home. To Colorado , so im sure i will be on parole for a good 3 years or less, Just so you know, this is Rachael, James's Mother, emailing this to all of the resources out there in San Francisco. before my son comes out. so he has somewhat of a head start. please fill free to email me back, if you have any options for my son. Bless you all this holiday season, may god be with all those who are struggling in the mist of discouragement, Peace

My husband has been out of prison for 2 yrs and served 10 1/2 years on a drug charge.and He has had a few interviews from Factories to Long John Silver and with hopes of getting these jobs unfortunately they passed him up but he has worked temporary jobs when they call but its off and on and he goes when they call. We live in Champaign/Urbana Rantoul Illinois area. I have 2 jobs to support our family and I thank God for that but my husband also had a cornea transplant last year with another one to follow after the first eye heals. He has the desire to work to take some of the burden off me. If anyone has advice to where he can look please respond. Thanks

Most of these companies will not hire a convicted felon. Whoever made up this list did not call these companies to see if they have a policy against hiring felons. I have personally been to Walmart, McDonalds, Wendys, Arbys, Burger King, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, K-Mart, Kroger and many on this list only to be turned down because I committed Vehicular Homicide 17 years ago. The only people that will hire a convicted felon are small businesses and even then you may still have a problem with them. I have been laid off now since July 1, 2009 and have put in 10,000 resumes and have only received about 11 responses and out of those 11 responses I was told " Were sorry but we don't hire convicted felons". I believe the system has set up convicted felons to fail when they get out of prison so that they will return back to prison. The Federal government pay's Georgia $90.00 per day for every inmate that is in prison. I have the new clippings to prove this. The Ga prison system is a multi million dollar industry. Ex convicts need to band together at the White House and protest against the discrimination the companies are imposing on them. Every crime should be looked at when a person applies for a job. The nature, circumstances, the time the offense was committed, how long the person has been out of prison and other factors should be taken into account before the door is slammed.

what are the best companies to apply for in Houston,Tx

I went on both interview and was offer the job but as soon as i told them about my past i recived a letter in the mail stating that the offer was withdrewn.This was my first offence in my 36yr life i didn't even serve any type jail time i just have to pay back the $$$ but how am i to do that with no job.

I'm 25 years old just got convited less than two years ago.....I 've lost family, my relationship and my home because of companies that say that they will work with you..." Walmart Ca, Ross Ca, Toys R Us but after second interviews and all I still don't get a call back or a letter.....I'm so sad all the time because I have all this money to back to clear me and I can't even get a job to do so.

Thank you for the opportunity to blog this in this website I bookmark this site and tell my friend about this site...

Thanks for the post……


How to hire people

Here are 5 Online companies that anybody can join up with. Ex Felons included. No interviews required. Start earning money today http://jobsforfelonsz.com

This is so pathetic reading what these strong black men have to say, still begging Massa to take care of them instead of using this forum to network and maybe crunch ideals to star your own business. when you get your GR check what do you do with it, buy some weed some liquor? there are bothers I see investing in car polish and equipment to detail cars. if you get good enough, that's 2hrs work or less at $80.00 per car do the math 40.00 an hr

This is just one suggestion but I know it takes effort on your part so it's a wash right.

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
JobsforFelons101.com

A company is allowed some discretion in who they want to hire. If they want to hire people who have shown that they will commit a serious crime, then they can. If they don't want to hire such people, then they don't have to accept applications from them.
