Hi Kevin: You're definitely not the only person on Jobcase going through this. There's a group just for ex-offenders on Jobcase if you'd like to join: https://www.jobcase.com/groups/EFDAAB25684C498FB2AFCC626B1E30C4 Here's a fantastic resource specifically for ex-offenders in the world: https://exoffenders.net/. This website was created to help folks in your position learn about their options and give them the tools they need to re-enter the workforce. They also offer a really helpful list of companies that are known for hiring ex-offenders: https://exoffenders.net/employment-jobs-for-felons/. You can search for jobs at these companies by clicking Jobs & Companies at the top of the Jobcase page to get the job search page! Here's another site that might offer you some help: https://www.iseek.org/exoffenders/index.html-- it actually gives you information about some of the benefits for the employer for hiring you: https://www.iseek.org/exoffenders/find-job/benefits-ex-offenders.html. Our job search page can be found at: https://jobcase.com/jobs/search. Some of the jobs on our site have 1 click apply, but for many jobs you need to click the job title to follow the link and complete the employer’s application process. Good luck!
