What will it hurt to try?

Unless you try, you will never know..... Take ownership of your past, show through words and actions that you are a new person and worth the investment (and yes the RISK)....

@ Freefrom... do you ever write your own answers or do you just cut and paste every answer?

A Career Instructor should have some good insight from her/his own experiences and should be able to do more than just cut and paste from other websites....

You could be a valuable tool (assuming you are not lying about who you are and what you do).....

I read online that UPS was friendly towards felons.When hired I was told that the company under no circumstances hires felons. I also understood that I was bonded upon becoming a driver rather than when hired pt inside. Job “ UPS Delivery Driver UPS has been known to hire felons. They have moderate incomes and is a stable job to have.

Companies such as UPS, one of the most recognizable companies in the world, has been known to hire ex-felons. So has the U.S. Army. Home Depot is another large company that has been known to hire felons, providing a great opportunity to change their life's direction. It will still be a hurdle to land one of these positions, but being open and honest about circumstances is the best way to a good outcome.

Never underestimate a prospect's potential to give a good applicant a chance. An applicant should focus on selling her strong points without trying to hide from the felony conviction when interviewing with a potential employer. A good attitude and a contrite spirit will go a long way in an interview

You should apply any and everywhere. Try everything or start your on business. It's plenty of ways to make money. I lost my job and went into real estate now I'm doing ok. Find your niche
