Why as a one time convicted felon can I find employment?

Most felons can find blue collar jobs. If you dont mind actually working up a sweat and not being in an office.

Try Contruction Jobs, Plants, Oil Fields, etc. Almost all of them are willing to hire felon’s, especially if it’s just drug chages.

Do you have a parole officer you could talk to? a lot of them are willing to help also.

On top of all of the noble suggestions above, if as you say you have documentation that you were not aware of the crime, you might want to apply for a pardon. It couldn’t hurt. Otherwise yeah, manufacturing, oilfield since 9-11 is pretty tough but you can get on with some of the contracting companies that do scaffolding and welding, or if you’re tech savvy and can learn it there is a geo-positioning attendant on all dive boats, he basically figures out where everything is underwater. He would be in my experience the only white collar type in the field other than perhaps the engineers.

There are jobs. Just not for you.

what I think is funny ok I got a felony well 2 one at 16 and one at 23 I dont put no blame on no one but me. but what is funny I was at autozone about to buy me an engine for my camaro but I overheard and autozone employee deny this guy a job because he got a felony.so what did I do I got me a refund and they ask me why I said im a convicted felon you wont hire one but you will take a felons money . they dont care if you kill someone just bring them the money but dont ask for a job .. thats bullshit double standard plus I no a lot of people that have never been arrested but do felonies everyday .
