I am a probation officer and a lot of my offenders with felonies on their records have jobs. It really depends on the crime. The ones that have a really hard time getting jobs are arsonists. But even they can get a job, like at a pit beef stand. Sometimes the thieves have a hard time, but most places have some sort of job where you don't have to work with the money. If it is a drug felony, few places care. They just have to stay away from certain types of jobs like pharmacies or doctor's offices, child care places etc. People with felonies can get jobs if they want to.

if they felonious act directly relates to the job at hand then NO, unless the new job is it self felonious, then you need to hire for experience.
however on a legal job, that would in no way put the felon in position to repeat then i likely would give them a chance, but a Non-felon w/ the same skill set would win if it came down to 2 people

Since I no longer trust credibility within USA attorney general's network of prosecuting attorneys due to dishonest allegations across this nation and since Houston Texas crime lab was busted some years ago for manufacturing trace evidence for Texas prosecutors and since FBI was caught doing same at or about 1996, I have lost all faith in detectives integrity and prosecutors honesty. I know a buddy who is facing a fraud case in TN.USA. Yet he has witnesses for his defense and the detectives did *not* do field research into case. What criminals, what liars. If a suspect admits to t doing a crime, than I will believe a crime as been done. But if a person maintains his/her innocence, then testimony and evidence is a darn lie and null and void to me. I would love to serve on a jury again. I would resist the evil within DA's network and detectives perjurious ways. If the person said he/she never done it despite conviction, I'd give person benefit of a doubt and believe the ex-con.

Consider, yes.
Decision depends on the felony, how old the person was when he/she committed it, what they have done with their life since, and if are they qualified for the job.

Absolutely. Most people deserve a second chance, but as some say, it would perhaps depend on what it was and whether there was evidence of remorse and rehabilitation. What some "honorable" corporate citizens and politicians do are far worse than what most felons ever do.

It would depend on what the felony was and how long ago.

depends on the felony and what the job was going to be....if they had been done for theft then would not feel it is right to have them work with money...........
On the other end of the scale would you want a convicted felon doing work in your house around your children.................

Depends on the seriousness of the felony and whether or not the person repeated the same crime. If they did repeat the crime, obviously they have not learned their lesson.
