Just so everyone understands if you want to work for the federal government as a felon and everyone say it’s never going to happen WELL LET ME JUST TELL YOU THIS YES YOU CAN WORK FIR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I AM A FELON AND I WORK FOR HOMELAND SECURITY/TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION #felons
Yea we can I work for homeland security and I make 18per hour
I just read an article about felons not getting opportunities. I agree, however, I disagree. How, because I’m a convicted Felon but consider myself a success story for all those who did time. Opportunities only present themselves if you present yourself as a changed individual. During my time, I saw many people wasting there time and spending there family money gambling, instead of working on themselves. Sure, you take educational classes but who takes mental health classes. There is where you began to work on self and your purpose. I took a lot of mental health classes because I wanted different. Along, with mental health, I enrolled in Ashworth College an received my associate degree in business management because I was a convicted felon and I knew I needed to balance the scales. See, as I mentioned earlier it’s all about presentation, then effort. After my released I searched everyday for 35 days and finally got the call from McDonalds. Opportunity, it presented itself and I seized the moment and never looked back. 10 years later I was running one of the busiest Jack in the box in San Diego. I left McDonald’s for Jack in the box after 5 years for growth and opportunity. Jack in the Box gave me an opportunity to lead, every store I managed I diversified, gave opportunities, and made future leaders through mentoring my team. I understood, most people just wants an opportunity, if we look outside there clothes, past circumstances, or cultural differences we can build wonderful stores and I was able to prove that during my 6 year tenure with that company. After 6 grueling years with the company, I am no longer with them unfortunately. That doesn’t minimize my success after doing 10 years. I beat the odds

If you're like me and have a felony on your record then you probably have had the same issues I have in finding a job. Luckily I came across this article about employment opportunities for us that I thought I'd share:
http://www.helpforfelons.org/companies-that-hire-felons/
It lists companies that are willing to hire us, as well as other options. I know I'll be referring back to it over time.
