Barriers of Prison Re-entry: Society's Judgement on Criminal Records
Many people, especially those with criminal histories, struggle to reintegrate into society because of obstacles such as housing, job, and social stigma. Albert, a passionate parent and military veteran, aspires to make society a safer and more successful place by recognizing that everyone is an individual and that classifying people is harmful to progress.
Albert's interest in community service and hard work derives from his early childhood memories and participation in community service initiatives. He is now working on legislation to provide convicted offenders more opportunity to minimize recidivism and encourage recovery.

A time management schedule is crucial when job searching as it helps us stay organized, focused, and productive throughout the process.
Over the years I have noticed when my life seems to be skewed toward the many tasks that I list for a day and completing few by the end of the day, it means there is no scheduling, nothing to guide me, like a blind man stepping through a well-lit alley.
For me, the toughest and only way that works is creating a schedule and remaining conscious of this schedule throughout the day. I am a very good list maker, but very weak at transforming those lists into productive schedules.
There are many times when I’ve found myself sitting alone trying to figure out why I don’t seem to be getting anywhere. I will get frustrated and ask myself, “Who do you think you’re fooling?”
Then it dons on me, I remember that I must go through my day in half-hour or hour increments that I planned the night before, or I will stumble in and out of tasks until the end of the day arrives and realize I’ve wasted so much time.
Here’s an example of a time management schedule for a day focused on job searching:
8:00 AM - 8:30 AM: Start your day by taking care of personal tasks and getting ready for the day ahead: showering, having breakfast, and any other rituals that help you feel refreshed and prepared.
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Take a few minutes to review your job search goals and prioritize your tasks for the day. Identify the most important actions you need to take to make progress in your job search.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Spend this time researching potential employers, job openings, and industry trends. Use online job boards, company websites, and professional networking platforms to gather information about companies and identify suitable positions.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Customize your resume and cover letter to align with the specific requirements and preferences of the job you're applying for. Highlight relevant skills and experiences that make you a strong candidate. Proofread your documents to ensure they are error-free.
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: Start submitting your applications for the selected positions. Pay attention to each application's requirements and follow the instructions carefully. Take time to complete any online assessments or additional application materials.
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM: Take a break and have a healthy lunch. Use this time to relax, recharge, and step away from the job search for a little while.
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM: Spend time networking on professional platforms like Jobcase. Connect with industry professionals, join relevant groups, and engage in conversations. Update your online profiles to reflect your job search status and any recent accomplishments.
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM: Invest in your professional growth by acquiring new skills or enhancing existing ones. Take online courses, watch educational videos, or read industry-related articles. This continuous learning will not only make you more marketable but also boost your confidence during interviews.
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Send follow-up emails or make phone calls to employers you have recently interviewed with or submitted applications to. Express your continued interest in the position and thank them for their time. Personalize each message to make a lasting impression.
4:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Spend the last few minutes of your day organizing your workspace, filing important documents, and reviewing your progress. Plan your tasks and priorities for the following day, ensuring you have a clear road map to guide your job search efforts.
Remember, this is just an example schedule, and we can adjust it according to our preferences and the specific requirements of our job search. Adapt it to fit our needs, but try to maintain a structured approach to maximize our productivity and stay focused on our goals. #Time #Schedule #Productive
Assisting felons obtain employment
I am a member of Jobcase as I use to peruse the conversations back when I was looking for employment and remember the obstacles I had to overcome because HR professionals could not distinguish between defer adjudication and a felony conviction!
At any rate, I now own a company that specializes in obtaining employment for people with records. I could not help but make a comment as I have been reading about the struggles of various individuals in this group
Always learning from the things around me
This human cocoon, encased in the harsh concrete and imposing steel of prison walls, has developed a transformative process from criminal to Christian, reaching self-acceptance and optimism.
"I describe myself as different in almost every way. I strive to be a student of life and a Man of God, always learning from the things around me. Seeing the good in others and the happiness inside them inspires me to be good-hearted, and always letting my sense of humor shine through. TEDx is a minister of new ideas for change and that’s exactly where I’m at in my own life today."

Anyone know good paying jobs around or near Long Beach California?
@Keith Willis Nice to see someone from the same area. I work in the Long Beach ports as a commercial driver. But try the job board, you’ll be able to submit applications there. I recommend adding some more work history to your profile. You’ll stand out more and you will start receiving job notifications.
Hey, @Keith Willis What kind of job are you looking for? Past experiences in any field?
What kind of job is our there for someone who doesn't have experience and doesn't want to work in retail?
So many entry level jobs for beginners
They can offer less $$ that way
Hey, @Mia Y restaurants and grocery stores are great places with no experience.
