How can i get a job fast that pays good and that will accept the fact that im a convicted felon?
Answer:
I see why not. Discrimination of any kind is against the law. But, there are some limitations in your case.
Because you were convicted, you cannot be bonded. Or, jobs relating to the felony you committed. For e.g., a pedophile will not be hired in a kindergarten or even in a middle school - even as a janitor.
But, take heart. Those are only limitations. There are jobs galore. Stop by your employment office and go from there. (I bet you have done that already).
Nobody will 'offer' you job by finding you. You have to go after them without fear of recrimination. Past history cannot and should not enter the job picture. During interview, do not hide it in anyway. It will only go to prove what you have done already.
Just give plain and straightforward answer because you have done the time and you want to lead a life without carrying that burden.
OK.you are looking for an answer that solves your obstacle, right? Well here it is.pay close attention, my friend.
Step 1: Make a list of all of the temp and temp-to-hire staffing companies in your area. Call each agency and pretend to be an employer. Ask them - "How do you screen potential candidates?"
Most staffing companies screen employees with a wide range of concerns - for example:
"We only check into a person's background based on their current address."
"We only check back 3 years."
"We only check the State of Vermont"
"We don't check criminal backgrounds, we simply drug test everyone."
After you have a detailed listing of staffing companies that won't find your felony record, go to ALL of those staffing companies and apply. Within a week, you will have a solid job.
Now here is the trick - Work freaking hard. You see, in the mind of the staffing company (and the employer) you have "checked out clean as a whistle." Your background check is OVER. Therefore, you are deemed 'clean.' Work SUPER hard. Come to work early. Stay later than expected. Always have a smile on your face. Say "Please" and "Thank you" until your tounge is sore!! You will be promoted from within in a year.
I did this. I am a convicted felon, in Michigan. I committed my crime 15 years ago. I followed this system and was offered FOUR jobs. I picked one that started me in a warehouse making $11/hr. After one year, I was earning $13.00 an hour. In 3 years, I was earning $17/hr. Now, ten years later, I earn $55,000 a year and NO ONE.I mean NO ONE.knows of my past.
Now, I had my voting rights restored, own a home. And am happy! My conviction is history in my eyes.
