Job Search Information for Ex-Offenders
Many people with criminal records have very good careers. It may be difficult to search for a job if you have a felony conviction, but it isn’t impossible.
Part of a successful life after incarceration is getting and keeping a good job. Besides getting paid, having a steady job can also give you:
- An employment history that can help you find even better jobs down the road.
- A feeling of pride.
- The time to learn about different ways of thinking and doing things
There are many programs that help people reenter the workforce after a criminal conviction. One great program is the Federal Bonding Program (FBP), a program that guarantees the job honesty of “at-risk” job seekers to encourage employers to hire former offenders. To get in contact with your State Bonding Coordinator and find a One Stop near you, call1.877.US2.JOBS (1.877.872.5627).
