I’m currently looking for a reliable client-facing representative to join our growing startup agency for long-term collaboration.
About us: I run a startup agency with around 20 team members, and we’re actively expanding our business and client network. Most of our projects are web-based, and we work with international clients, so communication and professionalism are very important for us.
What we’re looking for:
US or UK resident Strong English communication skills Comfortable joining client meetings and interviews Ability to explain technical concepts in simple words to non-technical clients Reliable, professional, and collaborative mindset Comfortable managing multiple conversations and projects at the same time

Software development background or technical knowledge Understanding of modern web development and software workflows Experience working with developers or tech teams
This role is mainly focused on client communication, relationship management, and representing our agency professionally during meetings and interviews.

If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to send a short introduction about yourself, your background, and your experience.
Looking forward to working together.

I’m unaware of that
I am a felon, yet I have competitive sales skills ,demo work skills , maintenance skills,paint, knowledge with automotive parts, and like in Quincy willing to travel to Tallahassee, can you guys point me in the right direction?
Absolutely! It's great to hear about your valuable skills. You can start by checking out job search websites like Indeed, Glassdoor, and Jobcase for opportunities in sales, maintenance, and automotive industries. Consider reaching out to local staffing agencies as well, as they may have job openings that match your skills and interests. Networking with professionals in your desired field can also help you discover hidden job opportunities. Best of luck in your job search!
I agree, many people in this situation have skills in many fields, but still are turned down because of stupid mistakes they made, in most cases many years ago. I personally am looking for resources in Wisconsin.
How can I be a support in addressing some of the issues in getting answers?
I had an issue with a past employer that filed a claim of poor performance, I sought to have my state representative address this and the work is continuing, so I want to let others know to put the representatives to work in getting justice.
Passing criminal background checks
I unfortunately have felonies on my record. I have struggled with drug dependance in the past but I have cleaned up my act and now every job that I apply for seem to give me the same response. "Sorry but we are focusing on other candidates at this time." What I want to know is, if I can't pass a criminal background, how am I supposed to better myself? I would never do anything to jeapordize a descent job. I'm just asking for a chance to prove myself.
Los Angeles County, and Other Government Fair Chance Employers
I've seen a lot of Jobcasers asking about where to find employers who hire candidates with a record, and I wanted to share this resource a friend told me about. The County of Los Angeles is a Fair Chance employer. They have a proactive and understanding hiring process that encourages people with felonies to apply.
The Fair Chance Initiative prevents the county from asking about an applicant's conviction history before the County makes a job offer. If something does come up after the background check, they review the specifics of the conviction taking a candidate's entire history into consideration. This includes evidence of rehabilitation, type of work applied for, and the time elapsed since the conviction, among many other things.
Los Angeles County isn't the only Fair Chance employer in the state or even the country, and I would encourage anyone having a hard time finding work in the general job market to try for local government jobs. Many of these jobs are skill-based, and can be a great fit for anyone with a bit of practical experience under their belt.
Check out the job board here and see if there's anything that may work for you.
You can also find out more information about the LA County Fair Chance Initiative here.
Good luck, fellow Jobcasers!
Not getting hired due to past history.
Ok here's an unfortunate situation that I'm currently faced with. I have a lengthy criminal history and it's something I'm not at all proud of.Ive been off of probation for almost 4 years and I'm no longer entertaining any kind of activities and I'm in a very good environment living life happy sober and crime free. I've filled out numerous applications and haven't heard back from anyone except Lyft who won't even hire me due to my background check being so extensive. It's so difficult trying to get my life on track when no one wants to hire me. I'm a very good person and a very hard worker. I want more than anything to move forward and I can't say this enough my past does not define me. I'm not going to take steps backwards only forwards but surviving is barely all I can do without a job. If anyone would give me a chance to prove myself I believe iwould be a valuable asset to their company and I know they wouldn't regret it. If anyone has any ideas I would be so grateful. Thank you very much
Work while being incarcerated
I'm trying hard to find work remotely, but being incarcerated makes it a huge struggle. I hope to find someone to take a chance on me, but I've no support system to help. Any advice for this issue I have?

My question is, how far back do HR/Employers go for background checks? 7, 10 years? Mine was a felony (non-violent) 10 years ago.
Does anyone know how far back they do background checks? I'm looking for a Customer Service /Office Assistant/Service Team Assistant position.
