An Important Short Synopsis Concerning » Employment Law Degree Programs
I am a ex felon looking for employment, please help me find work.?
I was arrested for drug charges in 1998, i served 18 months in prison, completed a drug program in prison, got out completed a drug rehabilitating program in the community where i live went on to a sober living environment, and now reside with my fiance, attending college to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and have been clean and sober for alittle over 7 and a half years. I really need help to find employment because as i was incarcerated i failed to provide child support for my children and now that i am an ex felon it has been impossible to find work with my record, i have been told by the courts in my county that i will be placed in jail for failure to comply with child support order, which will defeat my purpose as a law obiding citizen with the entent to gain emploment by completing college with a degree specializing in Drug and Alcohol Counseling. Please help me anyone who have information that will keep me from having to return back to jail.
Say Casandra,
Welcome back to the world!
Check out the EDD (Employment Development Department) There should be financial incentives for employer willing to hire ex-felons.There should be monies available for you to go to school pay for books etc. through the Department of Rehab.
OK.This one may sound weird but check it out.
There is a website called"HotGhettoMess.com"
There is an ad about another website that explains how to create a resume,how to present yourself at an interview and other hints.
I haven't been to prison but it has nothing to do with not deserving to go.I have many good friends who have gone and I watch them go through the changes of trying to put their past behind them and having people through it in their face.Please,please,please,don't let the people with small minds stop you because you will run into those with big hearts and the ones with big hearts are worth having to go through all those small minded people.
The best to you.May the Higher Power protect you guide you and give you strength.
Sincerely.
