 Veterans looking for Jobs

My husband is a retired army veteran with a few minor misdemeanors and a Wanton Endangerment charge. Any ideas of a network or job market we could job hunt in? The Wanton Endangerment is from an ex girlfriend claiming to point a gun at her. Looks ugly on paper. This was 3.5 yrs ago.

Where do we begin to take our first step?







Please help and thank you for your time

 Hello,

I have a question.  Is the Wanton Endangerment  a conviction or merely a charge?  I ask because employers are more interested in convictions rather than charges.  You may want to get that information.  Most applications only ask about convictions.  No need to list something that is not a conviction.

In regards to networking,  the Veterans Administration has several programs to assist veterans looking for jobs.

You can get more information on these programs and other forms of veteran assistance here:

Many employers give veterans preference when hiring.  There are even tax incentives offered to employers for hiring veterans.  Your husband may want to point this out when interviewing for jobs.  The Work Opportunity Tax Credit offers employers tax breaks for hiring individuals that are in certain targeted segments of the population.  Veterans are one of the targeted groups.  You can get more information on the WOTC here:

Sex Offender Seeks Construction Jobs

 Season's Greetings.

My fiance's ex husband is a paroled sex offender. He was released from prison more than ten years ago and my fiance divorced him but has too much compassion to turn him out on the street. He had found work in construction driving tractors and heavy equipment but all that disappeared when the recession hit. After a long stretch of unemployment he got another construction job that required heavy manual labor. His bosses knew of his crime and worked him extra hard because of that.

Despite what I have read about parole officers, the reality is that many of them don't really like their work so they play games, mostly trying to violate these men again. If the parolee is living in a good neighborhood (despite the hatred of the neighbors) the parole officer may be very jealous, which is the case with my fiance's ex. She is not there to help him in any way. That is the reality.

Meanwhile, he makes a meager income of about $800 a month, and he lives in my fiance's home taking care of their teenage son. My fiance takes contract work and travels to stay away from him. Prior to her ex husband's incarceration, he worked in the office of a major defense contracting firm and earned a very good living. But now, he is mostly a broken middle-aged man working manual labor at minimum wage.

My fiance and I would like to help him find meaningful and lucrative work. He had worked in positions that would earn upwards to $40 an hour, but no one would hire him because of his status. The guy has an impressive resume, and he's constantly worried about being violated again, or that his parole officer will go after him. We're considering to set up a LLC and make him an 1099 employee. We would handle marketing of his skills There are a number of contract web sites - Odesk.com, Textbroker.com and Elance.com where we can try to get work for him.

What are your thoughts about such an arrangement?

I'm not sure. I suggest you get the legal angle one it. Convicted sex-offenders are subject to reporting regulations that other ex-offenders and felons don't have to deal with.

What I would suggest in the meantime is to make a list of local contractors and offer to himself out as a day laborer. There are in all probability quite a few contractors in your area looking for skilled day laborers as a way to keep their own costs down. He could get a list of contractors that have recently been issued building permits at your local municipal building. This is public record so he should have no trouble getting that information.

I hope this helps.

Felon wants a career in Psychology or Broadcasting

 

Good afternoon,

I have read your blog and have gotten a lot of great ideas to pass along to my clients. Thank you very much for that! However, I'm clueless when it comes to my partner. We have been together for 3 yrs. I knew getting into the relationship about his past, but growing up on the "other side of town", I thought once you did your probation and paid your fines you were good! How wrong was I. He has not served any prison or jail time, but does have 3 felonies for drugs and last yr was charged with felony manslaughter (grand jury turned it down...and we were told he was charged b/c the other family was pushing the DA...small town) but this is on his record as well.

So, my question to you is where do we begin. He has an interest in psychology and broadcasting but not sure if he could have a job once a degree is obtained. I know this was rambling, but I know he is at the end of his rope, and every path is a dead end.

Thank you for any information that you can share. By the way we are in N.C.

Miss K,

Felon wants a career in Psychology or Broadcasting

Hello Miss K,

I encourage all ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs to apply for anything they feel they are qualified for. Your friend is looking at a career in Psychology. The only problem I see is that there are some jobs in the psychology field that require licensing or certification.

Before he invests time in money in pursuing a degree in that field he should find out if he can be licensed in your state.

As far as a career in broadcasting, I see no reason that he cannot get hired. In that field he will be subjected to the the same factors that ex-offenders and felons in other fields have to deal with.  The good news here is that broadcasters have to report their fair hiring practices to the FCC.  Hopefully those fair hiring practices include ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs.  He will have to find an employer who will be willing to overlook his convictions. How can he do that? He will have to apply, apply and apply until he finds an employer who will work with him.

I hope this helps.

Felon in Colorado seeks Expungement

Hello Anthony,

I am not a legal professional and therefore not prepared to give legal advice but my understanding is that expungement is only available in Colorado for cases that have been dismissed.

If your conviction is more than ten years old, you may apply for a pardon. Unfortunately, pardons are rare.

Ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs often require legal assistance. You may find low-cost legal help at your local legal aid office. You can find the office nearest you in you local phone directory.


I hope this helps.
