Hard times
So finding a job when have criminal background is like the hardest thing. Im trying to turn my life around but it seems like I still gotta live with my past. Every job i apply for shoots me down for my past. I even made it to the second interview pretty much got the job then i was honest and disclosed my background and then was told no. Look i understand why company's do background checks but what gets me is even with that being done companys still have things go on by people with no records. I just wanna work. Honestly, the stuff i had done in my past i made alot of money. Anyway to all those who suffer my pain dont give up trying Im not going to. To all those that do the hiring try giving people a chance if they are being honest with you.
