Job Hunting
I just got back from UPS for an interview. I have been to 2 Amazon New hire events also. I hope at least one of these jobs come through. I am concerned about the background check because of being incarcerated for awhile. Right now just trying to get my foot in the door. I am no longer the person I used to be and I am looking to make a better future for myself.
Vernon Yates In my opinion, it's NEVER too late to be the person who you truly want to be. I think it's awesome that you are moving forward with your life.
