Ex-offender may need help to get a job
Jam,
Hello Jam,
Your particular charge is what is classified as an "integrity" crime. This means you will have a very difficult time getting a job anywhere money or valuables are at risk. You will definitely need to change your line of work. My suggestion to you is to contact your local One-stop career center. They have a lot of services that can help unemployed people in different situations get jobs. Many of the counselors at these centers have experience assisting people with criminal backgrounds. You may also find success applying to smaller companies that tend to do less exhaustive background checks than larger companies. Ex-offenders and felons often have more success finding jobs when the know where to look.
You can find your local One-stop career center here:

Where can ex-offenders and convicted felons find jobs?
I hope this helps.

Hello
I'm 27 and I had a rough year. I now have two misdemeanors on my record. One for possession and another for simple assault. The assault charge was for throwing my phone at a woman who was being very aggressive with me verbally. Anyway, I was just wondering if you could give me any advice on going about getting a job. Every interview I go on leads to a dead end and I'm losing hope. I am a hardworking and trustworthy person. Please help.
