Answer 2

Mandigofirst please read my comments carefully. There IS a way to remove this issue from your life FOREVER. I am living proof of it.

Step 1: Open your local phonebook (Yellow Pages) and review all of the employment staffing companies in the area. Pretend to be an employer and call them. Have a few items prepared before you call. What is your business name? What are your office hours? Where are you located? What type of workers are you looking for?

During the conversation, ask them - "How do you screen your candidates?"

Some of the staffing companies will say -

"We check into a person's criminal background all the way to his/her birth."

Some will say - "We check into a person's history for 10 years."

Some say - "We check the local county of his/her current driver's license."

Others - "We don't check backgrounds. We merely drug test."

A few of the staffing companies (lower paying ones) actually don't even concern themselves with background checks and drug tests. They ask you to simply take a personality test.

Step 2: Once you have a listing of all of the employment companies that meet YOUR criteria, meet with ALL of them and you will become an employee of a company very quickly. When these employment firms check you out, their background check on you will come back 'clean.' You knew, in advance, what they were trying to find...and YOU beat the system. Staffing companies are EXTREMELY hungry for good workers, so when you pass the background check, you are 80% of the way home!

Step 3: Once hired by a company (and in their opinion, you have already been fully screened for security purposes, right?), work like a freaking dog. Come in early. Stay late. Work hard. Work through lunch. Never, ever complain. Let me say that again....never complain. Say 'please' and 'thank you.' Become the kind of employee that people rarely meet. This is also a chance for you to regain self-respect and a feeling of worth. At first, you won't make a ton of cash. When I first did this, I began working a full time job at $9/hr.

Soon, you will continually promoted through the ranks. Simply because you know how valuable this job is, you will do nearly anything to ensure that (a) you won't be seen as a suspicious employee and (b) you will be appreciative for the opportunity to earn a paycheck.

That is how you do it. In the staffing company's mind, you are "clean." You 'checked out.' In the employer's mind, the staffing company checked you out up and down. Now, the employer really values you. Even better, if you ever decide to leave the job, the employer will give you a GREAT recommendation and the same staffing company will also find you another position! It's a Win-Win-Win.

Mandigofirst, you need to understand that your ONLY sticking point is getting around the background check. You simply didn't know what they checked for. If your former/recent employer merely checked into your remote past, nothing may have surfaced and you would still be employed today. Your only hurdle is passing the background check...right? So eliminate that obstacle. Find out WHAT the staffing companies are looking for and simply apply to the staffing firms that you know you will 'clear.'

Fifteen years ago, I made a mistake as a young man (23 years old). I screwed up. I paid the price. I became a felon. But, pmcharles, I have NEVER let it affect my life.

Now, I have a GREAT job. Make GREAT money. I am a productive member of the community. I own my home. I had my voting rights restored. I am allowed to own a firearm in the State of Vermont. I am a HAPPY man. Best of all...NO BODY knows of my conviction. It is as if it never happend. It took five years to get everything organized and completed, but now....5 years later....I am doing BEYOND awesome.

Best of luck....and TAKE MY ADVICE!!!!! Most importantly, don't complain about your situation. You and I are in this mess due to a single stupid mistake. Step over that issue and move on. Soon, no one...not even YOU...will reflect on your past.

Depending the kind of work you'r lokking for, and if you have someone who'll vouch for you. Here in California, I use to work in a store where we had to keep a gun on hands. I hired an ex-felon he work two days, and quit. Hewent to unemployment office, and they call; saying it's against the law, to ask if their' ex-felons. And i said yes, I know, but we have a hand gun on hand, and i've had to ask. End of story.
