Can i as a felon get a job anywhere

I've been trying to get a job I pass all.drug test but when my background check comes back they wont allow me to we work I had 3 different jobs now.but the day before I start they tell me that I cant work for them. Why I'm not a bad guy I made a mistake that most people say they would of done the same thing its bullshit. What is America coming to they'll hire illegal Aliens but not a felon who's an actual citizen all my life.

Hi Joe Fritzen , you may also want to send your resume over to Linda Qaradaghi.

She's a recruiter with Aramark (Second Chance friendly employer) in Texas who may be able to connect you with an immediate and local job opportunity.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

Hi Joe,

It's going to be difficult, but there are companies out there who are felony-friendly. They aren't going to be glamorous executive style jobs, but you can at least get your foot in the door.

Here is an article that lists the top employers who are felon friendly: https://www.careeraddict.com/companies-hire-felons

Also, consider applying for smaller employers like mom & pop shops, small retail stores that aren't a part of a large chain. Most small employers don't do background checks because the cost is too prohibitive.

I know this community has a lot of people with felonies who have found work, maybe they will chime in with some better suggestions.

Best of luck to you sir!
