I don’t feel like a Criminal so why does society keep telling me that I am one? I made a bad mistake years 5 years ago, did my time, and paid my dues. Today I’m a totally different person trying to find an honest job so I can provide a better life for my daughter but I can’t get a door to open for me anywhere. I got pulled out of job the other day after my background check came back. I held that job for 3 days and the manager was happy with my work but on the morning of the fourth day he said “your background check is here but unfortunately we can’t keep you on”. Is this what I have to look forwards to on every job? I keep turning to God for help but lately it’s getting harder to pray. I can’t even look at my daughter in the eye’s anymore out of shame. I’m not looking for a handout. I’m just desperate for an opportunity. What can I do about my past to help my future?

How long will a DUI show up?

My issue is my criminal background but I have worked in the hospital, I am frustrated and on the verge of moving back to Pa

I have a record, if I cannot get a job outside, how can get a job inside. I will work from home, only if I can find legitimate one to it.

How can I overcome a bad background. I made mistakes in my life it seems they follow me when looking for employment

why does a back-ground check complicate matters of being hired? I never killed ,robbed ,rape , sexed a child , never had a violent charge.

My name is tiara. I've been looking for a job for a while now. I've applied for many many places but i have something on my background which causes some people not hire me because its not been 5-7 years since i got my last charge. its been almost 4 years tho. I do not think its fair at all!. I have experiences in a few things. Im also willing to learn new things. I have 2 other adults then me and a 5 year old child at home, although the 2 adults work its still a struggle to live on there paycheck. I just want to do better for my family and i need help

I’ve seen some posts on here about those looking for a job and trying to overcome a criminal record. I just want you to know that there IS hope for you! My brother made some mistakes and spent five years in jail. It was hard when he got out but he eventually landed a job as a clerk… at the very court where he was originally sentenced!

Don’t give up. Redemption is possible.

I need a job that isn't gonna trip about my criminal background. where would I begin?
