Where are you located? Google Jobs that hire felons in your Area. My brother was hired with Pepsi. Nor sure if there is a Pepsi company located in your area. He has been there almost 10 years now and was hired fresh out of prison. He recently got promoted and is making close to 6 figures. He is a driver so you may want to look into getting your CDL.

If you are fresh out of prison, it depends on what the crime was, as each company has specific requirements felons must meet. Go to the Workforce Solution agency, and all the city, county facilities, as they have, 'block the box, and will at least redirect you to some possible 'fresh start programs'. Also, contact your local church, and other churches for assistance. Find a staffing agency that works specifically with convicted felons and parolees. It may take a while, but don't give up, as construction jobs are always open. You may have to require someone to represent you, like your Parolee Officer, Pastor, or Business Owner, to sponsor you as a backup, but try it. The key is to take what is offered, as you do have to prove yourself, and continue to look for something better. God Bless and please stay healthy!

Try Home Depot and Lowes. Also Associated Groceries. Some staffing companies may help you but be honest with them .
