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?

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.
