I have a friend who has recently come out of prison, he is 22 bright, articulate, ambitious and has a fantastic personality. How he got involved in criminal activity is another story. But he is now keen to get a job and improve his quality of life...what steps should he take and what jobs may be suitable. He is based in East London.

Well you writing a letter of recomendation and any other "upstanding" resident in the area of where you live would help. I mean don't just have him on the job report put you as a reference, I mean he makes a portfolio of the local people that will vouch for him.
Labor work might also be a option, as some local businesses might hire laborers on a need basis. And if he gets a name established with a few Contractors doing home repairs or clean ups, it might be a start in the right direction.
Baby steps it will be in the begining. As he has to gain the trust of the society again.

I will be 100% honest. The only jobs he will be able to land aren't going to be good jobs. I work at an engineering firm and the worst thing on anyones record here was a DUI and once they found out that he had that on his record he was out the door real quick. The only jobs I can see someone getting who has a felony on the criminal history are in construction, food service, or other low income employment where they don't do background checks.

Hi, your friend sounds perfect for this!
I work for a company out of home that is doing well for me. I won't rant and rave about it but I will tell you it's not a survey company, or a blog entry company, it's not even a company where you have to sell products, I repeat we do NOT sell products. This is an honest home-based business that is easy. Email me at wellness-manager@hotmail.com if you want more info. I could give you a link to their website but I would rather show you and let you watch an online presentation so that you can see what a great company this is. I can't wait to help you help yourself.

You need to find groups who are specially set up to help ex con mates. I know this world is so hard to get back into if you have been on the wrong road. Some members of my family are having the same trouble. But they are doing voluntary work which will eventually lead to a fully-paid job. Voluntary work looks so good on your CV, employers love it. St mungos is a good place to start, they are looking for volunteers at the moment, he could start with it for 6 months then he might be offered a job.
Good luck. And tell him never to give up. If he gives up, his life will be sh!t from hereon in.

If he is financially strong and since he is bright, artiuclate, ambitious and has a fantastic personality, start a business of his own interest and that will be the best way out.

The record examine might want to take position your fraud, yet lower than the words of the rehabilitation of offenders act 1976 conviction is now properly-referred to as spent: for this reason i don't think of you've something to worry about. If although, your boss does locate out then all you want to say is that the offense is Spent and also you want no longer declare this.

Your friend will have a criminal record and that will affect the kinds of jobs he can do. You do not mention what qualifications he already has, or what kind of work he would like to do.
I would suggest that he contact NACRO http://www.nacro.org.uk/ for advice on sympathetic employers and that in the meantime he do a course and/or voluntary work to build up his CV.

He should be able to get a job almost anywhere. I know a few people who are parolees and have decnt jobs. One thing is for certain though dont tell them hes on parole.

having a record is not a problem. He should do something which he likes to rather than looking for acceptance.
