A felon can get help finding jobs and careers
Q: I am a felon residing in Birmingham, AL. I recently completed 1 year of probation and am finished with the whole process. I recently enrolled in a technical college for Information Technology. I have researched all that I can, and cannot find out about my prospects in this field. I have read a few books and my strategy is to stick to startups, small, and medium companies. I have plans to go into business for myself, but starting off, I will need a job.Is my strategy sound, or should I pick a more inclusive niche? My overall goal is to become an application developer (apps for mobile phones, tablets, etc.).
Sincerely,
Jay
A: Hello Jay,
You are on the right track. Smaller companies are less apt to spend money on expensive background checks. Ex-offenders and felons looking for professional jobs should always apply for open position by using resumes and well written cover letters. Using that method, the question of a criminal background may never come up.
In the meantime, make use of your local One-stop Career Center. Take a look at the video below.
