Well, usually convicted felons can't find anything better than an hourly, unskilled position.

You can be a CPS worker or a daycare provider...anything you want...lol...If you get it expunged or a governor's pardon, you can pretty much work anywhere.
If you're not really skilled, you can apply for a Pell Grant (Don't have to pay it back) so you can go to college or trade school and be able to better yourself. Your state will help you if you are an American. I hear it is pretty easy to get jobs in the shipyards if you are a parolee too. Good luck.
By the way, anyone know how the law works when it comes to checking anything out on a Federal Parolee? LOL! I know in California, not even law enforcement can pull up your record when you are done with your paper. State and county, yes, but federal is special. I say take the 50/50 chance, and lie your butt off in hopes they won't find out about it until after you have proven how valuable you are to the company. Then if they find out, and like you, you stand a better chance. LOL!

I dont know if you killed out of self defense or defending someone else but if you killed from committing a crime then no you have not payed the price or the time and it should be paid with your own life cause I would not let you live to kill again unless it was for you to help fight the wars this country is going thru and defend your country's lives with your own and if you made it back then be given a good job to go on with your life, sorry but thats just my opinion for what its good for.

Well, there is this actor name Charles S. Dutton, fine actor, who had killed someone years ago and came out after serving his time and did a hit show on Fox that was called 'Roc', That was a great show for its time.
My point is this.....whatever the reason you commited the crime, you served and now it is time to redeem yourself. If you have a probation officer who can give you a head's up on some type of jobs that will accept a convicted criminal, then, I would go for it.
I think anything within construction, for you, would be good. Loading docks, driving, things of that nature.
I wish you luck.

well, first of all find out the law when it comes to how old your conviction has to be before you dont have to disclose it anymore. You are pretty much banned from any sort of government work so dont even think about it. You still have many options out there for you but keep in mind that if they do a background check, it will come up. Be prepared to explain or to talk about it. there are a lot of different jobs that will hire ex convicts, but you will have to do some searching. good luck!

They say that you have "paid your debt to society", but it really isn't true. Your criminal record will stay with you always, and will pretty much limit you to menial jobs. About the best you can look forward to is trying to go through some technical school training, such as Welding, Carpentry, or maybe Truck Driving, but the jobs will be limited due to the ever-present "background check". Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Well, first of all, (lol) time plays no part in deciding your future. Once a convicted felon, always a convicted felon unless you get it expunged from your record. (good Luck). A pardon from the governor or president will only restore certain rights. You will never be able to carry/own a weapon, and you will never be able to get any kind of government job, (city, county state, or federal). You will never be able to work for a company that has to be bonded. Unless you are able to go to college and get you a specialized degree, as stated earlier, you will only be able to work in a field requiring minimum skills,(construction etc.)

Whether this is hypothetical or serious, the same answers basically apply. Any job that does a criminal background check is out of grabs, basically. Being a cop, I think most (if not all jobs) in the military, actually...hmm. If they don't already have resources in the probabtion office for job seeking, they should.
