Keep working at it and you will find a job! I know it is hard but keep at it.
First try to place yourself in the employers shoes and think about the reasons he wouldn't want to hire you (you may not agree but your opinion doesn't count here) and then have solid answers to those fears.
I sell a lot in my job and one of the tricks I have learned is to bring up the biggest objection my customer has before he does. It makes it seem like less of an issue and they feel better that I have thought through the problem for them. You do the same.
Good luck.

Go with a small privately owned company. They tend to ask less questions and usually are more willing to overlook little things like felonies. Also consider an industry where the owner is more likely to be simpathetic to your situation, I'm thinking construction specifically definitely not some kind of white collar office. Don't lie but don't offer more information than necessary. Keep your personal business to yourself.

You must keep trying. This society should not punish you forever. If you fill out a job application and you are honest about yourself and your history, you may want to write what you just told me-that you want so much to get back into a normal life and prove that you are worthy of someone's employment.
All it takes is for one person to give you a chance, and for you to prove yourself and you are on your way out of the hole.

Do you have time to volunteer? If you could volunteer somewhere it would look good on a resume/application and would be a great way for you to beef up your reference contact. Also, take what you can get. You don't have to make a commitment to flip burgers forever, but if you can do that, prove yourself there and move on. It is the same ladder everyone else is climbing, you just made it more difficult, but you can do it if you really set your mind/heart to it.

Hi Lisa,
I don't have a good answer for you, but I do have a lot of questions. The screenplay I am currently working on deals with a man who was just released from prison, lives in transitional housing, and is trying to put his life back together.
It is very hard to find information on what it is like in transitional housing, a normal daily routine, and how hard it is to find a job.
If you are interested, I would like to ask you a few questions via email.
You can get the ball rolling by clicking "Email Me" on my profile.
Good luck.

You may have developed bad habits from family. It's hard , but you might have to make a dramatic change in your world view.

Well,stop and think about that : If I had stolen from you,or sold drugs to your children,or committed some other serious crime,and been convicted of it in a Court of Law, Would YOU HIRE ME ,and take a chance on exposing your other employees,and the good name of your company to the possibility of me returning to my criminal ways as an agent of your company?
