My felony was in 2005. I paid restitution and fulfilled my 6 years of probation. I had an inventory job for a little over 9 years but was fired because I could not get along with the new supervisor. I haven't worked in 2 years now because everyone does background checks and dismiss me as soon as they see I have a felony on my record. 12 years has been plenty of time to show that I am not the same person that made a mistake. I am willing to work at just about anything at this point but at 54 years old it is hard to try and start a new job career when no one seems to want to take a chance on me. Any suggestions would be appreciated but negativity will not help.
