I'm having a hell of a time landing a job. I've had 4 places hire me only to let me go on the first day of work. Here's why: in college i had a DUI (5 years ago), then right out of college I had another DUI(3 years ago) but this one was charged as a felony but after probation its now a misdemeanor on record. My credentials are BS in chemistry/Deans list, licensed in auto/home/life/health insurance, A+/MCP certified, 3 years business technology consulting. I would think that someone would take me. Oh yeah, I got let go from all these jobs even though I was up front and honest with them on day one and they still dragged me along for the ride only to recind their offer. Any ideas where I should look?

Why don't you become self employed? You've got lots of credentials. Go for it! When no one else has faith in you, you've got to find it within yourself.

This depends. If she works for you, will you be around her all the time? This might sound awesome at first but you can actually spend too much time together and this can put a strain on the relationship. You have to think about your other employees too (if you have any). They will automatically presume she will get preferential treatment and whatnot and might not be happy with her being hired (not that it is up to them but a productive workforce is a happy one!). I'm not saying don't hire her on this basis but she needs to be warned their might be some hostility in that respect. If she will be an asset to your business, then go for it. There are always going to be reasons for and against a decision but this is your business and you'd surely want to do what is best for it. Give her a trial run at least. That way, you can test how things go.

look out for an option to work online. I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I can share my personal experience with you. When u are planning for a home based online work, be very careful because most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site. I would like to share a link where you can make $600 in a month working at home. The work need to be done is posting a discussion and answering a discussion. the link is:

I found a number of jobs at this website.
http://www.madd.org/aboutus/1648
They have a lot of jobs there and if they hire you it seems like you both could help each other out.
Seriously, goodluck with the search. You shouldn't be jerked around like those employers have done. I sincerelly hope that behavior is in the past and as time goes by it will become easier to land a decent job.

If I were you I would not reveal this past unless i was trying to get a job where it required Top secret clearance. I am assuming you are clean and sober, if you are not, then try those survey jobs those jack rabbits keep spamming you with. I would lie like a rug, consider it in your long ago past, get on with a good career. The worse that can happen is they will find out and fire you. What to lose?

well you don't really have to let them know about your dui's. of course they aren't going to hire you.but if you really want to work then you need to work on stop drinking and driving.sometimes also it's who you know too.to get a job. try so temp agency they help to. try not to get a bad work history too cause the employer is gioing to look at that to.show some good energy into wanting to work. good luck!!!!!!!!

Maybe a government job would take you more seriously. Not sure, sorry.
