Felon needs I.D. to get a Job
Felon needs I.D. to get a Job
Hi,My brother in law just got out 20 days ago after 3 1/2 years. He was convicted when he was 19 and he's now 23. He was convicted for accessory to murder and possession of an unregistered gun. He's been having a lot of trouble finding a job in Orange County, CA.
He's gone to many open interviews, and things seem to be great until they see that he a felony on his record. I've done some searching online and it shows that trucking companies will hire an ex-felon, but he's having so much trouble getting an ID that he doesn't even know about a Driver's License. He's tried going to his PO, but the PO doesn't seem to be much help or want to try and help.
He no longer has his birth certificate or SSC, so the DMV told him to get an official letter head from his PO and they would be able to issue him an ID, but his PO refuses to do this.
Felon needs I.D. to get a Job
Hello,
As far as his probation officer refusing to help him, his P.O. has a boss so he may have to go over his head for a little help. Her may be able to help him get a birth certificate also. I know parole officers who do this everyday.
This is often a dilemma for ex-offenders and felons job searching. Under the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act, newly hired employees must present documentation that they are authorized to work in the United States. You will need three forms of identification to legally work in the United States.
Social Security Card
If do not have your Social Security card, you can get a duplicate car at your local Social Security office. Below is a link to the application for a replacement cards along with instructions.
Birth Certificate
To obtain a copy of your birth certificate, contact the office of vital statistics in the city where you were born.
Valid Driver’s License
To obtain a copy of your driver’s license, contact your local motor vehicle agency. It is listed in your local telephone directory. Some motor vehicle agencies may even offer “Identification Only” cards if you do not have a driver’s license.
Photo Identification
Many county agencies provide photo identification cards.
Green Card (if necessary)
To obtain copies of your alien registration card contact the office of Immigration and Naturalization. You can information about the process of renewing or replacing your green card here: Green Card Replacement Application Process

Felon with deferred conviction wants job advice
Felon with deferred conviction wants job advice
I found your web page to be informational and also motivational. I was charged with theft and it is deferred I have not completed my probation, but my question is when I complete the probation and finish paying all my fines. I am wondering if it make sense at all to go back to school to become an ADN, LVN or counselor. I am wonder if these jobs will hire me with this charge. Or would you send me some information about expungement. Would that apply for me and how should I go about it.
Thank you for your help in advance. I have applied for so many jobs. I can't count and I get turned down time and time again.
Sincerely
Melinda
Felon with deferred conviction wants job advice
Hello Melinda,
Generally speaking, when the terms of deferred sentences are met (in most cases, a fine and probation,) charges are formally dropped. If you are unsure of the terms, you should contact the prosecutor assigned to your case.
Once the terms are met, there will be no conviction simply a dropped charge. In most cases, employers are only interested in convictions. If there are provisions in your state for expungement or sealing, it won't hurt to apply for it. Many ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs need legal help. Contact your local legal aid office to find out if this is an option for you.
I hope this helps.

Updated List of Companies That Hire Ex-offenders and Felons
I have contacted each one of the companies on the list and none of them have official policies that exclude the hiring of ex-offenders. My list is a little different because it includes companies that have hired students that I have worked with personally.
Many people that read this list are confused. Just because an employer has hired an ex-offender in the past, does not mean it will hire every ex-offender or felon that applies for employment. The nature of the conviction of the person applying will come into play. For example, a person convicted of any type of theft or robbery will not be considered for any type of job where valuables are at risk. A person with a drug conviction will not be considered for jobs in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes etc. There maybe even local laws which prohibit those with drug related convictions to be employed anywhere alcohol is served.
Many types of jobs require licenses that people with certain types of convictions are ineligible for.
I have also met people who have have applied for jobs with some of the employers on the list and come to the conclusion that the employer doesn't hire felons because the employer did not them. Just by appearance, the person was a poor applicant who just didn't make a good impression or did not fit int what the employer feels a good employee looks like.
Before you apply for any position, you have make sure you put yourself in the best position to be hired. The first and most important is appearance.
Do you have suitable interview clothes? For men, a well fitting suit with a nice shirt and tie would be the absolute best thing to have. That may not be possible for someone just coming home but I suggest that men at least have dark dress slacks, a light colored shirt and a coordinated tie. You should also have a pair of shoes that you can put some polish on. Not boots, not sneakers…shoes! A good number of my students buy
their interview clothing at thrift stores like Goodwill or the Salvation Army store. They find quality clothes at very low prices, clean and press them and they are ready to interview. Never mind how you get them, the right clothes will make the difference. You should also have a neat haircut and be clean shaven. If you wear a beard, it should be neat and trimmed. How do you look? Do you look like an ex-offender with a shirt and tie or do you look like a businessman? Do you look like you are going to a
business meeting? You should - an interview is a business meeting. You should always look like a professional who is there to make a business deal! Always dress like you have an interview even to fill out applications. You will never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Women should wear a classic skirted or pant suit with a light colored blouse or a simple dress that does not come up above the knee. Do not wear anything too tight or too skimpy. Be sure to wear coordinated pumps that are neat and clean. The pantyhose should match the skin with no pattern.
Hair should be neat and of natural color. A short hairstyle is best, but tastefully done longer hair is fine. Fingernails should be neatly trimmed with tasteful polish. The make-up should be natural looking. One set
of earrings (no larger than a quarter) no facial piercings or tongue ornaments, one ring per hand and no more than one bracelet per wrist. If you have visible tattoos, especially on the neck or face, should be covered by makeup.
Do you have a resume? A resume will present your skills, past experience and other information in one neat package. Everyone looking for a job should have a resume. If you do not have a well written resume, you should do what you have to get one.
How are your interview skills. Once again, you will have to leave an employer with a good impression of you, so brush up on your interviewing skills
This is a great list and a great opportunity for ex-offenders and felons to get hired for jobs. Make the most of the opportunity!

Felon wants job in Information Technology
Felon wants job in Information Technology
I am currently in the process of getting my degree in Information Technology. I am concerned that when I receive my degree, I will not be able to land a job because of my background. I was convicted of Possession With The Intent to Distribute, 8 years ago. I have spoken to a lawyer and he said that in Virginia, if you plead guilty there is no way to expunge the conviction from my record.Now, I have stayed out of trouble since then and that is my only felony. When I see a job on-line, I notice that they say "must be able to pass a background check". What exactly does this mean. I seen on-line comments that it depends on the charge and the how long it has been. I would one day like to be able to receive a security clearance. Do you think I will ever be able to get past this blemish on my record or will I always be doom because of my past?
Thank you,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Unfortunately your conviction isn't going anywhere. You have nothing to lose by applying for every job you believe you are qualified for. One suggestion I have for ex-offenders and felons looking for professional jobs is to always apply by mail using your resume and a well written letter of introduction that explains exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Never mention that you have a criminal record until the employer does. Hopefully using this method, your criminal record will not even come up. If it does come up, briefly explain what the problem was and focus on your accomplishments and why you are the person for the job.
Take a look at the video below. It will give you some insight on this method.
Also, in 2015 President Barack Obama started what is known as the Fair Chance Initiative. The Fair Chance Initiative encourages employers to offer qualified ex-offenders and felons equal opportunities when being considered for jobs. You can find more information here.
Jobs for Ex-offenders and felons: sending Resumes and Cover Letters
Don't make the mistake that many ex-offenders and felons make looking for jobs. Do not assume that because you have a criminal record you will not be hired. You must go after every job you feel you are qualified for. Don't give up. Remember, even a blind man will hit something if he throws enough rocks.
I hope this helps.
