Fed up
I love to work. I worked when I wasn't supposed to others instead.. I get in a little trouble and get a big fat felony and now they don't want to hire me. McDonald's told me over experienced for the job and Burger King told me I didn't know enough... Un experienced ...
Give me an idea.
Google agencies for x felons...your past doesn't have to and SHOULDN'T dictate your present/ future! Pray...
Hey, your not alone! But you should tell your story. Get out there an get in their faces. And make a resume doesn't necessarily have to be about work! And getting in support groups help. It's only over if you say it's over. Life's a gift that's why it's called the present. Surround yourself with those kind of people. and I promise you your see a big change. But remember stay true to you and what best goes with you. I'm 20 and im still lost. Lol the economy's harsh I feel where you coming from and so do good employers. Anyways good luck
Ty I will try and let u know

Have you tried a staffing company? I'm in staffing and my employees are mostly felons, what my clients have to do before hiring them on is run them through a staffing company, we have all made mistakes in our past and my employees (most of them) are looking for a second chance. It's worth a shot..
