Well, I do believe people can change. When I had my Landscaping Business I would hire anyone who wanted to work. I did hire a guy with a Felony (One) and he was a good worker and never caused trouble. Many of the people I did work for knew of him and were impressed with his ability and attitude. But, I no longer do this work. Got too hard for me as I tried to work right with my employees.
I will add; This actually something you can get into on your own (Landscaping) I started with a Rider and Weedeater mowing yards. Then a lady ask me about doing a Flower garden. By word of mouth in three years I was hiring help and turning away people as I did not have the time!

Seems to me that this certain person has made some mistakes, but I am a strong believer of giving all the chances needed to someone who is truly looking to turn their life around. I probably would not have this attitude if I didn't see my mother in and out of prison when I was younger. Now she is my rock. She had 2 felony charges, and she got a job at Blue Cross Blue Shield... A health insurance agency... She is doing great now, and totally off of parole and probation, and just living a normal life.
I believe that as long as the felonies are not related to the job they will over look them, but may put you on close watch your first couple months. What type of work are you looking for? Most work from home opportunities don't even ask those types of questions. Eat n' Park, McDonald's, most small businesses, such as contractors, carpenters, construction workers... Actually a lot of smaller construction companies will hire just about anyone with manpower.
Search your options, but I guarantee you will find something!

It depends of what the person did. If you have stolen money, tried to kill someone or raped a woman then no. The boss will be concerned for his money and for his well being and everyone elses. If you have not done anything like that then ok. But if you have stolen money and you wanted to be higher-ed at this job. I would talk to the boss one on one and tell him how you feel and that if you are trying to straighten you life up tell him. And also tell him that if you have any feelings that I'm going to do something bad then you can fire me on the spot. That is pretty much telling him that you have made mu-stacks in your life and that you are wanting to make your life better. Now what I am saying to you now is what I hope you feel. "Wanting to change you life for the better." But if your out there thinking of another feliney that you can do. Then your not going to get a job at all. Another thing that can help you get a job is don't get anymore felonies. "You can do it man as long as you keep your nose out of the mud and into the flowers, you can do it!"

Well if the guy has three felonies, he's probably not looking for a job, but looking at the world from behind bars.

Well,yes in wisconsin my brother is a three time felon and he had some real bad charges and he got hired at his job as a manager.And he always get hired at some of these good places,I don't understand they rather hire somebody with felonies real bad charges against him and he always quits,then hire somebody that's really looking for a job and can't get hired.

Depends on if the felonies are directly related to the line of work the man is seeking. If it's a financial institution and his crimes were financially related, no. Same thing with healthcare or public services usually. I would think that after 3 felonies, he's pretty screwed.

Probably not due to my line of work. I work around children with disabilities and it is for the state. Although, I do think it would matter what the felonies were for. They have to get back on their feet somehow.

I guess it would depend on the felonies commited..but most likely not..maybe if it just happened ONCE but three times ehh.
