is it possible to get a good job if i have a felony conviction?

Answer 1

You can but a lot depends on the nature of your conviction and whether you try to hide it. Go with character references if you have put your felonious practices behind you. Everyone makes youthful errors but employers don't feel inclined to overlook these if you overlook telling them. Any good job is going to have a background check and it (or someone) will tell them. If you are a serious candidate for the job, discuss it with the hiring authority/interviewing authority. Good luck. You might also see if your probation (if on) officer has some suggestions. You might find he knows of some employers who are a little more forgiving than others.

Answer 2

Post in the Employment and Careers section. This is Renting and Real Estate.

But, that often depends upon the felony.

Answer 3

IMPORTANT:
NEVER admit to having a felony before the job offer because even IF you do get accepted, the moment ANYTHING comes up missing, or a rape or whatever, YOU will be blamed, fired, arrested.

OR you might get set-up to be blamed for a pre-planned theft, so don't even put yourself in that position in the first place.

LIE on the application because they might not check up on it.

Just get a job with your family, then create you own job independently ASAP.

Answer 4

A better option (if you are smart and have changed your ways) is probably to go into business for yourself.

If you interview for ANY job, and are competing with someone who has equal skills (but no felony record), who do you think will get the job?

If you work for YOU, your history is irrelevant, all that counts is how hard you work!

Answer 5

Depends on your definition of "good".
