Looking for office work
I've been looking for work for the past 7 months... I had gotten laid off from my former job. I have good communication skills, management and now warehouse/inventory skills. I've been looking for work for the past 7 months even through temp agencies. I've gone to some interviews and everything goes excellent but I feel that my criminal background pops up, they deny me. I made a mistake seven years ago in taking the blame for someone else which was petty theft and I feel no one wants to give me a chance because of this Btw, I was a personal caregiver to a friend of mine who passed away that's why I was "laid off". Please, any recommendations or any companies that hire people with criminal backgrounds? Thank you very much, Nessa
