It depends on the company that is hiring. They may have a strict "no felony" rule. Or it may depend on what you were convicted of.
For example... if you robbed a bank, you probably won't ever get a job at a bank. So it depends.
I am not aware of any programs that assist ex-convicts gain employment.
I would suggest that you make the most of it by going back to school. And whatever you do... when the question comes up in an interview - tell the truth... because they will find out.

Get to the state employment agencies fill your applications when you are call for an interview be honest we are humans, and if there is one with out a mistake some where another then that one is a perfect angel not identified on earth, so dont stop until you are successful it may take a little time but dont give up for perseverance will conquer, I wish you very good luck and my wishes to others always come through,

I don't think a convicted felony can get a job, because a felony is a crime, not a person. If you mean a convicted felon, start out in politics or entertainment, there are a lot of felons in both of those.

The only thing I can suggest is to contact your local job and family services...that source has been known to find leads. If you know this felon has had any kind of training in prison, some prisons offer that kind of service so that felons can get back on track with life when they are released. Sorry your friend is feeling negative about the situation he is in, But its up to him to overcome the obstacle, he will be able to find work...maybe you can get his parole officer involved, they have access to city/state/federal jobs for felons. It's part of the rehabilitation of them...there is help out there, just stop him from making excuses and get him off of his butt and look into it....Good Luck and remember there is only so much you can do as far as support, but he has to make the change and be willing to do so.

Try to get jobs that they are qualified for. If the prospective employer asks, tell the truth - we do backgrounds checks for positions of responsibility &/or authority. If the person is talented in their industry, a good employer will at least give them a chance for them to stay on the straight and narrow.

You know, yes, it is hard for a convicted felon to get a job - but he should have thought about that when he was committing his serious crime.
It's very hard as it is for those of us who obey the laws, and don't commit FELONIES to get a job. I understand that some will say he's served his time - however, at the quick rate they parole criminals these days, whether he served his time or not is debateable and not probable.
I'm sure he'll find something sooner or later. And good luck to him. I certainly hope that he is truly reformed and will not make such a serious error in judgement in the future that will lead him to commit felonies.

It is hard, a relative of mine has a few felonies from their teenage days. They have had a hard time working in the computer field even though they are almost 30 now. You have to keep trying. My relative tends to do well if he can get in as a contractor. Once he shows them his stuff, they forget about the record.

that is not any longer recurring in corporation to run a history verify basically for a promoting except your promoting might require a protection clearance i.e. Governmental artwork. i might particular carry close onto that activity although provided that could be a lot greater person-friendly to have a history verify carried out as a clean hire. You sounded a sprint afraid. attempt to no longer be. all of us make blunders, some basically get caught.

First I'd like to say FU to all the people that provided the insensitive answers.
Secondly it's very hard to find MEANINGFUL employment w/a record. I would suggest going thru agencies.
Your record can only be erased/sealed if your no longer on parole or probation.
