Hey felons...I know it is hard to find a job, being a felon and all. The one thing you have to have is determination and focus. Factories are a rudimentary source of income whose labor is targeted to the poor and nonskilled within the communities. If you want to obtain skill, you have to go to college or some sort of technical school. Financial aid is available to almost everyone that applies for it. The first place you should look is FAFSA; which stands for the Free Application For Federal Student Aid. You apply for student, then you apply to a college. It's that simple.
Realize that college is hard work, and it may take anywhere from a few months (for a certification) to a few years (for a bachelors degree) to complete. Be Patient!!!! I have been going to college for almost 7 years; 3 of those years were through Hocking College in the prison system. Yes....your prison college credits apply to most 4 year schools. If you go to school, study for the classes that you registered for; Don'tslack off. You are the one that ultamately pays for your education, so stay away from drinking and using drugs. Famous stupid quote, "But I still can function while using alcahol." No You Can't!!!!! In all probability, drugs and alcahol, combined with hanging out with like minded people led you to prison; that's what led me to prison. So I stopped drinking and using drugs.
On the topic of finding a job. You need to be confident that you will receive that job. You need to continually follow up on that application ("I'll wait until they call me"); That's Laziness...stop it!!!! Get off the drugs!!!! You need to dress professionally; dress slacks, dress shirt, etc.. O.K....for the gentlemen that don't have the gift of gab; Pick up a book and read it every now and then...not a magazine...not an XXL, A BOOK. This will help with your rhetoric (look up words you don't know in the dictionary). All these tactics will get you closer to employment. Remember...Looking for a job is a Full-time job. Don't forget the previous statement. It is a 40 hour a week, full-time job. If you want a good job, you will follow what I told you, or else you will be working at a plastics factory hating life. Oh...and smile ;-)No employer wants to hire someone that mean mugs them all the time. I know, I know...sometimes you can't help but to mean mug...Get over it and smile :-) I usually spend time in my car blasting Lil John, mean mugging, but I won't do it at work. Disregard the sentence about me mean mugging in the car, I was trying to be funny. Well...if I can get a job, you can get a job. I have a felony 1, and I still get jobs. No excuses!!!! Good luck, and good utilization of your job acquiring skills.

Can you get a CDl in wi with a drug felony?
You can get a CDL. But no company is going to hire you with that on your record. While it is possible for someone with a felony to get a CDL job (albeit difficult), drug convictions and violence convictions make you untouchable.

The Zoo.

Is there trucking companys in Texas that will hire with 2 DWIs?
I hope not.
Will you hire me If have a felony conviction?
There are many companies that do not hire a person if they have a felony conviction. However, there are companies that will hire a felon. A person has to apply for jobs until they find a company that will hire them.
If you are a felon can you become a pi?
Typically not. You have to register with the state to be an investigator and apply for a license. They usually bar people with felony convictions. Also think about it, would you want to hire an investigator that him/herself cannot stay out of trouble themselves.

What companies hire felons in Dallas TX?

Can you become a stna in Ohio with a felony?
Yes you can. I am a felon myself and I called a STNA school. They said you can take the class to become one. It just depends on the company if they would like to hire you. Even if not, you can be a HHA because my cousin has a felony and is now working as a HHA. However, before her felony, she did direct care and was even a team leader at one point. So it is possible.
Can a felon work in a bank?
They could in most states, but it is highly unlikely that a bank would hire them. Actually JP Morgan Chase (formally WAMU), will hire you even if you have a felony record, so if you have a felony apply there.
What businesses in Dayton Ohio will hire felons?
There isn't a "magic" listing of businesses that hire felons. Some do, some don't. The felon needs to do their homework to weed out those businesses that specifically won't consider a felon. Businesses are looking for hard, dependable workers. It's up to the job seeker, felon, or not, to convince the employer that they are the best person for the job. Is having a felony a barrier? of course it is, but so is lack of transportation, lack of training/experience, age, Both young and old, etc....the biggest barrier I've found with felons isn't the felony, it's the attitude. If you feel you aren't getting the job because of your felony conviction then you're probably carrying that felony with you to the interview. If you have a good, positive attitude, employers will talk with you.
