Felon with DWI needs a Job
Q: Mr. MayoMy sister is a convicted felon for the 2nd time for DWI's. She lives in Angleton, Tx. She is a hard worker. She has mainly done construction throughout her lifetime but she is getting too old to continue this type of work. She has been to the WorkSourve numerous times and she continues to look for employment; but she is getting really discouraged. I have been online to find a list of company names that hire convicted felons and have now wrote them down.Is their anything else you can think of that might help her seek gainful employment?
Thanks
A: I'm sorry your sister is having so much trouble. The good news is that people with DWI get hired everyday. It is my experience that people with DWI tend to have more success finding jobs in the retail or hospitality industries. Employers in these fields want people who will be reliable and punctual.
Don't give up on the WorkSource in Texas. New positions are added everyday. A counselor can show you how to browse open positions from home if your are not already doing so.You can sign up to browse open positions here:

One last suggestion, when you find an opening you like, the absolute worst thing you could is to lie on a job application your charge. I would just be completely honest and in the interview explain the situation to the employer.
I hope this helps.
