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 in 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
