Finding Employment After a Felony or Sex Offense

Introduction:

Have you faced difficulty finding work after a felony conviction or sex offense? Parole or probation restrictions can make the job search even harder. But don’t lose hope! This guide offers practical tips and resources to help you overcome barriers and secure meaningful employment.

Challenges and Solutions:

It’s true that restrictions like home confinement and limited internet access can be obstacles. However, there are ways to navigate these challenges:

  • Open Communication: Talk openly with your therapist or case manager about your employment goals and the challenges you face. Collaboration is key.
  • Develop a Proactive Plan: This plan should outline your aspirations, potential barriers, and strategies to mitigate risks while complying with supervision.
  • Address Specific Concerns: If your offense involves specific risks (e.g., contact with minors), showcase proactive measures you’ll take to avoid them.
  • Seek Approval and Support: Get your therapist’s approval on the plan and request their help communicating it to your parole or probation officer.

Maximizing Opportunities While in Supervision:

  • Supervised Job Search: Discuss the possibility of supervised outings for job interviews or limited internet access for job applications (under supervision).
  • Government Resources: Explore government-funded temporary employment agencies that offer computer access for job searches.

Remember:

Finding a job may take time and effort, but these strategies increase your chances of success. By taking a proactive approach and demonstrating commitment to rehabilitation, you’ll be well on your way to finding meaningful work and reintegrating into society.

    • Where do you live??? Operating a private pit bull and animal rescue in the Whittier area, I am always on the lookout for fresh blood with a good, strong back capable of doing some heavy duty lifting (up to 60 plus pounds at any given time).

  • This is very true. One day you could be a free man, the next your in jail for flirting with a girl online. People are considered SOs in some states for urinating outside. They receive a Sexual charge of Indecent Exposure and BAM. Hello SO status. Its unprotected, Humiliating, and hard to survive with these kind of charges. I hope we become a protected class. If i want to wash dishes for a living why should i be denied because im a SO?

    I understand the crimes are Horrible. But not all SOs are Rapists and Child Molesters. Even then there are no safeguards for us. Only for the scared public that we will hurt someone. What about all the drug dealers and Murderers? Why are they looked at in a more positive manor? Do people even realize These things?

    No they do not. They all live in fear of the very world they live in. Well people of the world. MAN UP and quit whining.

  • For the past twenty-five plus years, I have been hiring registered sex offenders to work at the private pit bull and animal rescue, and even though we aren’t exactly popular among the public we are the only facility in the area willing to help sex offenders get back onto their feet again.

  • Hey guys Im on the list and I have a silly idea, or it may not be so silly
    I think we need to link together and start a crazy movement to stop discrimination. It isnt working with the government. Lets start doing it with a list. It will make life a little bit confusing and we may have to go an extra mile or two to get gas. But instead of supporting the people who will not give us a job. We should only support companies that will actually employ sex offenders. I understand the crimes are bad but people have to work. I propose that 800000 sex offenders make a list, accurate list not just because someone wouldn’t hire you but you were actually discriminated against. when we all link up and take our families and friends and our business away from these bigots. They may change they’re minds. please if interested in helping please email me [email protected]
