Did you make some bad choices?

I am pretty sure that NO one in their entire lives has ever said, "WOW I never made a bad decision."

We all have because we make mistakes.

The important thing is to grow from them and not to let that define who we are and especially NOT to dwell on them. #beenthere

If you're struggling from the results of the bad choices you made yesterday, last week, or even years ago talk to someone. Whether it's a professional counselor, friend, family member or even a pet (the best therapy) it's important to take care of your mental well-being.

So go get yourself back out there, you have got this!!

What are some GOOD choices you've made this year?

Second chances in 2021

I've seen some folks talk about having a #record or something that's happened in their past that's impacting their #jobsearch. It's human to make mistakes - you deserve a second chance. Check out the Jobcase Second Chances Resource Center to get your 2021 job hunt under way.

Don't give up.

I have the internet's largest site to assist those with a record in finding employment (https://www.jobsforfelonshub.com/) and my biggest piece of advice to you is to not give up. Many times, you'll get denied employment due to your record. In fact, you may be offered a job and later have it rescinded due to your record a few weeks in. But, for the millions of people I've helped, the #1 thing that I see that separates those who find employment from those who don't is persistence. If you continue applying and continue networking, eventually you WILL find an employer who will give you a chance. It may not seem like you will, but if you keep at it, you will. Don't give up. #secondchances

About Second Chances and hope for tmw.

I wrote this 3 years ago. Someone just resurfaced it for me and I thought I'd do same for everyone - becuase theres a lot to learn from those that are overcoming some of the biggest mistakes.

Many employers will look at your record AND when you were convicted and how serious was your crime. Ex - convicted of joyriding ten years ago as a teen might not hurt your chances whereas convicted of armed robbery five years ago probably would

Location of job

Does anyone know of any companies hiring near Peru INDIANA THAT WILL HIRE SOMEONE WITH NON VIOLENT FELONY CONVICTIONS? Seems like debt to society is not ever payed because after serving 16 years in prison my criminal background constantly holds me back from trying to become productive member of society? #tips
