Join fair chance job search group to share your input

Data showed that fair chance job search is 30% harder than regular job search. I saw an amazing comment from @Nicole Shaw yesterday supporting another member show just came out of prison and tried to start his job search:

It’s really bad how we are pushed out into the community from prison and told to get a job and be productive member of society, but are not offer any assistance if you don’t meet certain qualifications, none of what I mean, of course. anyway, just wanted to say I don’t give up. Nothing comes easy out here but I believe in you and the potential to surmount your past and transition into the better, stronger and wiser you!!

Very grateful to have amazing members like Nicole who's willing to share her experience and advice. Join fair chance job search group to connect with more helpful members!

Volunteer in your community, it shows you are giving back and looks good resume. Get back in school, get a certificate/degree. Ask for internships. There are opportunities out there, but the chips are stacked against you...make moves to push things in your favor!

It takes a lot of courage to speak up and advocate what's wrong with the system rather than internalizing the problem to our own flaws. Amazing insight and advice. Thanks @Nicole Shaw!
