It's been a while since I posted about felon Friendly job opportunities so I thought this would be a good time to revisit the topic.

Anyone who's spent time inside knows that sometimes, despite your best efforts that finding a job can be a stressful and daunting challenge. Where do you start? If you've spent a number of years out of society and are lacking a good resume and job experience it can be hard to figure out where to look.

This article has some great ideas of how to find your direction. You can use any work experience you gained while incarcerated to develop a list of skills that can be transferred to a good paying job. Some may require certifications & training. The good news is that there are many states and cities that are Ban the Box participants and many companies that have signed the Second Chance Pledge. Look up your state's .gov website to see if you live in one of those areas.

There are paid apprenticeship programs, college courses and training programs available to felons. These are part of an effort to decrease recidivism and give felons a chance to gain employment which benefits them, their families and their communities.

To find out more check out the link below. Also, make sure to complete your Jobcase profile, use the AI Resume Building tool & upload your resume and check the jobs icon on your profile page for job leads. Jobcase also has the Second Chance Resources Center that has lots of information.
