How can I get a job with a flawed past?

Well, I would suggest contacting Project Rio to find out if they offer services outside of Texas or if they know of any similar programs in your area. I plan on doing the same for myself.

ever heard of “PROJECT RIO”……. its for high profile offenders that need to be bonded to be placed back into the work force…… good luck (when your bonded the employers insurance will be more willing to hire a high risk candidate such as yourself)

Ummmm, well that is the problem now, isn’t? There is rarely any place that we felons can turn for job help. I swear, I am going to look into starting some kind of assistance program for us.

Have you tried asking your local employment office for help? Possibly temp agencies will know of their clients that aren’t quite so picky. I wish you the best of luck.
