My hubby is a convicted felon too. But he hasn't been in trouble with the law since 1997. Having that time behind him with no trouble helps. We are in Ohio now, but while we were still in Florida he worked for people that new he was a felon but looked past that because of his work ethics. My husband is a mason by trade and takes pride in his work and it shows. We moved to Ohio in 2001, and it has taken him until now to get into the Brick/Block Layers Union. That's a long time. I'm not sure if there's a union for Machinists but it's something to look into. Good Luck!

He should be honest on the application and that is the best policy. Eventually an employer will find out. People do change, usually- If he is good at his work, he can offer to work at a lower pay at first, just to prove his quality of work and dependability. After a month or two he can ask for a review of his performance and get a pay raise.
The problem in working for a big company is that they may has a rigid policy and insurance exceptions to hiring people with certain or any felony convictions. Honesty is the best policy.

Have him apply at the temp agencies in your area. There are quite a few companies that will hire people with felonies on their records. Many companies will even hire temps permanently if they do a good job. But he needs to be honest. If the agency catches him in a lie (most of them do background checks and reference checks), he will most likely be disqualified from employment with them.

he gets a job at a place that doesn't have him sign a release for a background check and he lies on his application - and he stays clean and works hard which justifies the above
as a machinist he will find positions with the state employment service and if he isn't a union member he should be - you might consider relocating ( if your area of Michigan has high unemployment )

Just lie. I'll bet there's very few people that tell the truth anyway. Having a DUI is a felony, just like having drugs, so lie, lie, lie. Or better yet, don't offer any additional information.

look at mom and pop shops...they are more lenient than large companies....look at construction, plumbing, masonary, or any labor jobs- some factories will hire felons....consider moving if you cant find anything in a few months
