Felon in D.C. needs a job

Hi my name is LaToya and I am an ex felon. I just feel like I'm going through a rough time right now, feeling real down on myself for the mistakes i have made in the past. Now no one will give a chance. I just completed a program (Center of Employment training) for Building Maintenance in Washington, DC but nothing has changed still can't find a job. What am I supposed to do? Just feel like giving up.... Please give me some advice, what can I do?

Felon in D.C. needs a job

Hello LaToya,

As I tell most ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs, It's going to take hard work, determination
and having the right tools.

You can get a lot of help at your local One-stop Career center. You will find a variety of services that can help you get a job. You can get help with a resume, interviewing skills and a list of open jobs in your area. Most centers have counselors who have experience helping ex-offenders and felons get jobs.

You can find your nearest One-stop center here:

I hope this helps.
