DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Jenise Hartje. These books are awesome and very informative!. "Helpful information for ex-cons" according to krnavajo. Finding work after prison, on probation or parole, is a daunting task. It can be depressing, and failure can lead to more time. Michael Ford provides some valuable information to make the transition more possible.This short book contains some good advice. It does have some shortcomings, however. It is partially a plug for his online service. That may not a problem, that's for you to decide. It also has some formattin. not good or bad The book had some interesting points but overall was aimed at under-educated. If you're a GED holder, this could be a useful tool. If you're a white collar type this is no help at all (you probably already know how to write a resume and how to conduct yourself in an interview).
"Sorry, we don't hire FELONS!" Finding employment after being released from prison can be one of the most difficult tasks a felon faces. No one wants to hire you but parole terms require you to have a job or go back to jail. There are many reasons, many valid reasons, someone can be convicted of a crime which can even result from them standing up for their rights or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many felony convictions are for non-violent offenses like failure to pay taxes, or refusing to testify against a friend, and similar offenses that are hardly crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, most employers do not understand this distinction. Yet these poor souls are treated no differently from mass murders when it comes to finding jobs. Even if you do not have parole requirements, you have to support yourself and that means you must face the question on every job applicatrion: "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" Over 80% of all employers use some form of background check today which greatly limits the job paths available to convicted felons and even those convicted of misdemeanors. This guide will help ex-cons and their families by providing important information you can use to find employment plus it explains background checks, how to deal with a conviction during an interview and much more that will help
