I got convicted with 3 non violent felonies last year and have been applying to temp services and all over the place. Anyone know a decent job for a felon other than fast food ;/

I swear this is the truth: I knew someone who spent 4 yrs in the pen. Last time I talked to them they were working as a security guard.

I don't know if you have one of these around your house, but Publix. When I was a kid, there was a felon there with a VERY bad criminal history. Publix is actually a really good company when it comes to treating employees well. Even their current vice president used to be a bag boy. After 20 years of promotions he worked his way up.

You need to pony up some funds and speak to an attorney that specializes in expungements.
Whatever you need to do, do it and get the record expunged. This world is going to get extremely tough the next few years.

don't listen to any of this about it being impossible to get a job with a felony, blah blah blah. there are millions of convicted felons in this country. plenty have decent jobs.
what you did, when it happened, and what your skills and background are are the key points. if you have no skills and you just got out after serving a few years for rape, yeah, you're probably gonna have a real problem.
if it's non-violent (especially drug related) and you have some skills or are willing to get some, you can absolutely get a decent job with a felony. in many states it's actually illegal to discriminate based on criminal history unless it pertains to the job, and therefore few larger businesses have official policies against hiring felons.
i have some friends who work in human resources and they tell me a criminal record is definitely not a deal killer if the job candidate is strong overall.
what was your conviction for and what is your background as far as experience, skills, and education?
