Ex-offender with misdemeanors need job search advice

Ex-offender in need of help and a job

Hello Mr. Mayo,

I was reading your blogspot about who women who was having difficulties finding employment because of felonies on her record in North Carolina . I do not have any felonies, but I occurred 2 misdemeanors in one night. Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Arrest. I am talking with lawyers and hopefully these charges will be removed. The frustrating thing is I was fired today from my job because the charges are "pending". The reason I sent this email is to ask you are there any jobs that will hire me with misdemeanors on my record until I go to court Oct. 5. This was really a blow to my self esteem, and if you know anywhere I could seek employment in Raleigh, NC I would greatly appreciate it. Have a great day.

Respectfully,

Erik


Hello Erik,

Not to minimize your troubles but your charges could be considered minor. Not many employers would hold those against you. You may just have to find the right situation. The suggestion I offer to many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs is the local One-stop Career Center. There are many services as well as counselors that can help ex-offenders and felons get jobs. Often the counselors are experienced at assisting those with criminal backgrounds. The counselors also have access to the bank of open positions in your state.

The One-stop Career Center in Raleigh is here:
