Can I find available employment if I have a felony on my record?

Answer by  Kurt (4579)

Yes, you can find a job, but you will probably have to be upfront with any company that does a background check or else they will not hire you. The jobs you will find will probably be ones that do not do a background check.

Yes, you can find work. It may be more difficult depending on what the felony is and what sort of work you are seeking. If you are having a difficult time, try working with an employment agency or some other placement service who can advocate on your behalf.

It is very difficult as people don't want to hire people with felony records. Especially in this economy with many choices to hire from.
