Hi @Jessica Renshaw , welcome to the jobcase community. I can see why you're concerned considering your current situation. Job roles and hiring opportunities may be limited but you still can find new job opportunities if you're open alternative job opportunities.

You can find job search and application tips on our Second Chances Resource Center. The Department of Unemployment career page CareerOneStop also has some excellent tools and local employment support services for jobseekers currently facing similar concerns.

Do you have strong references? What's your work schedule availability? The foodservice, warehouse, construction and retail industries are known for their second chance friendly hiring practices. You may want to start there. Temp agencies also have a lot more flexibility with their hiring.

To start your job search use the Jobs tool on this page to query for new job listings and hiring opportunities available in your preferred work location, (city/state). We also keep an updated list of hiring news on our #workfromhome and #hiringnews topic pages. Use the links above to immediately access the list of jobs and connect right back with us on this post if you have any questions.

Also, share some of your top job preferences with us, and we will use your information to match you up with job leads and hiring opportunities that fit your immediate job needs and future career goals.

Stay Encouraged!
