Okay, everyone makes mistakes right? I have a friend who is tirelessly looking for a job and has had the door shut in his face multiple times now. I need the names of some employers in the Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana areas who will hire ex felons. His had only been out of prison for two months and has worked at temp agencies. He has welding and driving expereience but, is open to learn and train in most fields. Please help him because he is focused and doing all the right things in order to repay his debt to society. He has even become a volunteer on his own.

it's a good start, but to behonest employeers want someone in their position to have been somewhere trusted for more then two months, it's going to be hard for him, sure he had paid the price for his crimes. It's not right, but it's going to take time, they will find a good job, but it's going to take time.
There are state programs out here purhaps the probation officer can help them find a good job that is 9-5 to help get them started on with life again.

Without experience, he's looking at "hard work". Yard maintenance, construction, that kind of thing, where the skills can basically be taught to anyone willing to provide the labor. *** I am NOT degrading the skills or value of these jobs; I'm just observing that someone without them can have immediate value if they will show up for work and do exactly what someone who DOES have the skills tells them to do, and thereby they will LEARN the skills. The good news is that these are also fields where a person can become self-employed relatively easily, if they have the innate skills needed to generate new business. There may be people out there willing to hire him as management or other "desk" work, but his odds are much better in physical labor.

That is going to be tough. Many people & companies just don't want anything to do with people with prison backgrounds.
Has your friend thought about working at home over the Internet? At least there would be no face-to-face to deal with. Does your friend have an Internet connection and some basic typing skills?
There are many companies that need people from home to do things such as write for discussion boards, write articles for websites, manage Google Adwords campaigns, etc.
Do a Google search for some of these. Or go to a site such as http://www.data-entry-jobs.net, where they have free access to all these types of jobs.
Good luck

Tell him to move to New York City. If no one hired felons there, there would be no industry at all.
