I have a Bachelors degree in Accounting and a Masters in Library Science. (I have never worked as either an accountant or a librarian.) I also have a federal felony conviction, for which I served 5 months at a camp and 5 months house arrest. My offense was white collar and is two years old. My dream job would be to work as a librarian. I live in Southern California. Any good career advice would be appreciated.

Be honest with your potential employers and express your desire for your dream job. As a librarian, it's not like they'd be worried about your access to millions of dollars, and if they give you a chance they'll find out you're now totally trustworthy right? Sorry it's not better advice but 99.9% of the time honesty is the best policy. Good luck!

Try getting a job as a library assistant and work your way through the system. Be honest about your conviction, a background check is going to turn it up and let them know you are ready to go to work and want to do the job.
Good luck!

Perseverance is your best bet. I am truly sorry and I do mean sorry for all your disappointments in the job search. It really will happen as there area a lot of employers who WILL give you a chance. Unfortunately there are a lot more who will not. Perseverance is my best advice and May God Bless YOU.
