    To all Ex-Felons and Ex-offenders trying to gain employment, housing and/or drug abuse assistance in the New York City area, go to "THE DOE FUND" website.

    you can also go to different types of temp services. i would suggest kelly services because they will actually let you pick what kind of job you want and if they can find an opening they will try to get you a posistion in that company.

    The one's with character and are willing to overlook past mistakes. They realize the debt to society is paid and one needs a second chance. Unfortunately not many businesses have compassion or character so one will have to look hard.Also the companies that do not check into your past could hire.

    I am an ex-felon with a violent crime committed when I was 18. Served 19 years in prison. Got out in 2004. I have a job as an independent contractor delivering the newspaper. I presently have one of the largest routes in the state and gross over 3K a month. After expenses (Gas and bags), I net anywhere between 2300-2400/Mth. It is easy to get a job with the paper. It is the only business I know of that flat out does not care about your record.

    The industry that has the most need for employees at this time is the health care industry. You need to return to school and work for a health aid certificate.

    Another industry that is in great demand is the tech:

    AT&T does not hire ex-felons I went thru their interview process and was offered the job, I accepted of course and then took my drug test "pass it". Then the HR lady called for more info I told her I was an exfelon. She told me that a commission had to approve me to continue the hiring process. I explain in detail what happen and never heard from AT&T I sent them several emails with no response. SO IF YOU ARE AN EX-FELON FORGET ABOUT AT&T.

    two family friends spent one hour on the computer last week applying at Baby r us and Toys r us then had a interview yesterday at baby r us . after a hour of introductions and games the mgr takes him back in her office to speak one on one where he discloses that he has deferred adjud. from 06 . this woman whole personality changes when she tells him that they don't HIRE folks because she has never seen anyone make it to her in the interview process....these folks are obviously Screened out ( she didn't say this). a neighbor a few months ago told me her husband couldn't get a job at Mcdonalds because he had a drug felony from 10 years ago ? these american companies are using this Hiring Illegal aliens as an excuse not to Hire Real Americans who want to work....i can see why there's so much crime. Walmart does not hire folks with any kind of background..i just completed a survey on them where they are Thinking about starting to hire folks with backgrounds ? FOLKS NEED TO MARCH ON WASHINGTO TO THE WHITE HOUSE PROTESTING THESE JOBS/COMPANIES WHO WILL NOT HIRE FOLKS WITH backgrounds or how easy it is to get one but so hard to get it expunged/cleared or fight not getting one with a good atty ! PRES CLINTON fixed it where a drug felony will Stop you from getting stamps in 96 and prior but a Resident alien who has not worked 40 quarters ( 10 years work history ) can Get Foodstamps, etc !! There are Temporary agencies who will not hire folks with a record like LINK Staffing but will hire Illegal aliens !

    LA Fitness in Lake Grove, NY, hires ex-convicts. One is working there now. I am sure there are several more. LA Fitness can hire ex-cons as they please, but I have stopped going there, and I will spread the word around. Hiring ex-cons may be good for the bottom-line at least in the short -run because they are paid less than the going-rate, but in the long-run, it will damage their reputation and tarnish their image as a family-friendly fitness club. My wife was shocked to learn this and was furious that she was taking her 12 year old there not knowing an ex-con might have conversed with her. God only knows what was discussed.

    I have noticed that McDonalds won't even hire felons no more but from the grape vine I have heard that BP does. That is in Akron Ohio oh and don't try to apply at Circle K if you are a felon that would be a big fat NO.
