To whom it may concern, I to have issues finding a job because of my background. My situation happened eleven years ago and I just feel like I'm still being punished for it. I just don't feel like it's fair to the people that has made mistakes in life and just wants to do better . We are not being treated fairly.

Hi Roland,

I am sorry to hear that. Did your situation lead to time in prison by any chance, where now you feel that you are constantly judged? If so, there are MANY options for you.

Sometimes in life it's sad when people can't or won't look past our mistakes. Those are the people who are not worth your time or energy. Those that take a chance on us as those worth working hard for, right?

With that being said, make sure to add descriptions to each job you have done in your profile. I see you have titles which is awesome, but adding some skills will be helpful in your job search. What are the jobs you would like to apply to now, truck driver? Perhaps Uber would be a good fit as I noticed you have driven for a company before (I realize it was delivering cars/trucks).

Have you applied to any jobs or reached out here on Jobcase or outside of Jobcase?

You can use these steps to start your job search here:

1.Click on “Jobs & Companies” at the top of the page 2.Enter a job into the search field that says “Position” 3.Click on the blue button to search for that position in your area 4.Once the list is up, click on “View Job" of any you are interested in to apply.

If you did spend sometime in prison, here is a list of some options I found in an article to get you started thinking about which jobs you might love. https://www.trade-schools.net/articles/jobs-for-felons.asp

My friend served ten years for something he did as a foolish 17 year old, and today (3 years later) he is out and working, engaged and actually owns a car. Things can get better, but first remember that you do NOT have to pay for your mistakes anymore, you just need to seek out the right opportunities.

Let me know if you need anything else, I am thinking of you! Remember to add things to your profile here and start searching! : ) You can do this.
