I have a misdemeanor for petty theft and currently live in Stockton Ca. I am so angry at myself and am very frustrated because I can't get a job to save my life. I have had so many doors slammed in my face, that's it's not funny and some temp agencies that I want to apply at (due o the companies they service) said that I can't even apply if I have a misd. for petty theft and how they only want the "highest quality" employees to offer to their clients. Made me feel like sh!t. I've had jobs my entire life and granted I did make a kid mistake at the age of 23, however I had no representation, I just plead guilty and they gave me 3 years of probation and made me pay $310.00 for taking 25.00 worth of food for my family. We were doing bad at the time. I've never done anything like this in my life and now employers wont even look at my resume. Nobody seems to want to help me as far as programs for employment, public defenders are not helping me, should I get a lawyer, would it be worth it?
