Hey Andrew Augustus , just an FYI... introducing yourself to potential employers as a job seeker with a "criminal record" is not going to help you land job offers.

Focus on your strengths, experience and skills first. Give employers something to get excited about first before you mention your ex-offender status.

Also, do you have a resume? Connect with local job search resources and hiring opportunities at https://www.careeronestop.org. Good Luck
