It depends on what 2 felonies you have, and where you go for employment. If the felonies aren't so serious, you may find a sympathetic employer in many businesses. If they are serious, you would probably be better off applying for jobs with small businesses that don't do background checks.
So, without knowing what your 2 felonies are, I would just suggest checking into small business that don't have a background check and see if anyone will hire you.

Your felony convictions should not hamper your employment opportunities. Feel free to apply anywhere and see what happens. You may have to answer questions about them at your interview, but it shouldn't hinder you from getting a job some where.
Best of luck!
I am not a felon, but I've filled out enough job applications to know what is listed above. The best thing to do is be honest on your application though. Do not disclose anything if you are asked to give the details of your conviction.

Set up a sole proprietorship by going to your county records office and filing a fictitious business name statement and follow-up by getting a business license at you city hall. Pick a professional business name for your firm and offer yourself as a professional contracting firm providing your services through the firm. You become like an independent contractor in whatever field you are specialized in.
Getting skills, having a good resume (professionally done if possible), having as many good credentials as possible is all good.
Job areas that are low to the radar include manual labor fields. Look into tree trimming, home cleaning, lawn care, running a hot dog cart, etc.
More skill oriented things might include running a internet auction posting site, research in public databases, bounty hunting, collections, etc..
Some professional things like process service and notary public may or may not be open depending on your felony and the state you are in.
Entry level jobs stocking shelves at night in supermarkets, janitorial work in offices, and fast food may or may not be available as they often mean accessing secure locations or dealing with money.
Temp agencies can provide work and often do not discriminate based on background as they often have a higher demand for personnel than they can fulfill.

violence = no social service
theft = no retail
impaired DUI = no driving jobs
the area that you have been convicted in will give you the answer. I wont apply to any areas myself that want me to drive until I get the DUI taken off my record - its over a year old now but will stay on my record for over another year.
small businesses - construction - labour are safe bets no matter what the felony

This is a tough one in the U.S. society. I would try shelters where you might get a paid job or a small business that might take a chance on you. I know for certain, if you deny having a record and an employer checks, you'll be fired on the spot. Good Luck.

It depends on the job. You can always apply but you must be honest about your felonies. You should be prepared to answer questions about them during your interview.
good luck!

I don't mean for this to sound, umm, snoody, but try for McDonalds. When I worked there years back, we were told that we needed to give people a second chance and that no one should be turned away if they are qualified. I know, its McD's, but its also a paycheck.
