Felon in Atlanta needs help finding a Job

Hello my name is Ronald I have 3 felonies on my record, 2 drug charges and a burglary. Are there any programs to help me find a job - not how to get the job because I have no problem getting jobs, I just can't get past the background. I'm really trying to change but it seems like the world don't want me to. I'm in Atlanta, GA and I need help.

Felon in Atlanta needs help finding a Job

Hello Ronald,

Since you are in Atlanta, I suggest you try the Goodwill Career Center. The Goodwill Career Centers throughout North Georgia, offer a range of services that can help you find a job or a career. The centers offer access to Job search tools and resources as well as lists of open positions in your area. You can use the center's Internet-ready computers, résumé and cover letter writing assistance, fax machines, and career coaching. You will find the center in Atlanta here:

Goodwill of North Georgia
235 Peachtree Street
North Tower, Suite 2300
Atlanta, GA 30303

Or on the web at:

Goodwill also operates a placement service that could help with placement assistance.

I also suggest that you contact the United Way in Atlanta. Unknown to many, the United Way funds a multitude of community based programs that aid a wide group of people including ex-offenders and felons. You can get more information here:

I hope this helps.
