Where are you located? Google Jobs that hire felons in your Area. My brother was hired with Pepsi. Nor sure if there is a Pepsi company located in your area. He has been there almost 10 years now and was hired fresh out of prison. He recently got promoted and is making close to 6 figures. He is a driver so you may want to look into getting your CDL.

I really doubt it, I'm pretty sure they just check for any criminal convictions or cases. QT does not accept anybody with felonies so they may just look for those.

It would be impossible for them to check your online activity. Although, internet service provider can see anything you search. They just don't give that information out

I am a professional who worked at a vocational school in Admissions since 2016 and school lost its accredidation , I applied for a mail sorter position as a way to re enter the work force , i was rejected because of my back ground to which I have no felonies and though ive made some mistakes in my life , Im trying to the right thing and I was offered a positoon with waste management despite my updated resume , it is said that the work force is not showing up and bussinesses are suffering but you have people who are desparate for employment but no one will give them and opportunity not all of us that reside in Philly are not trying to carjack and shoot people some of us are trying to do whats right and all we are given are excuses , I believe in a days work for a days pay but lets be fair .
