St. Louis Area job help for a felon?

I was convicted of a theft felony in 1992, the only one. I was with the same employer for about 10 years and have relocated to southern illinois ( St. Louis Area) I am having a terrible time finding a job, does anyone have ANY information that might help me in locating a job in the area. My experience includes all fields of food service and housekeeping as well as some paperwork. I can do just about anything including painting, staining, outside land work and am very teachable and willing to learn.

Hi there,

To find companies hiring felons in your area, go to http://www.governmentjobs.com and find your local employment office.

They should be able to put you on the right track to finding a job. I’ve also heard that United Way and the Salvation Army will employ those with felony records.

Also, there are plenty of this same question on the site: just search for “felon” in the bar and you’ll find other answers!
