Finding Work With A Criminal Record



Wendy:  My husband has a criminal record from years ago and was laid off last year. Because of this difficult economy, he is having a difficult time finding a new job with his criminal record. Can you offer any suggestions?

Elaine:This rough economy has made it hard for people with college degrees to find work; persons with criminal records who could find employment when the economy was good are rarely considered among a job pool crowded with non-offenders.

According to www.theinmatelookup.com, Goodwill Industries International provides free job training and employment at many of its facilities nationwide.They post jobs for positions within their organization nationwide on their website.

Another area that is to open to ex-offenders is foreclosure clean-out. According to many in the business, reliable workers willing to do manual labor that does not offer any benefits is still difficult to find. Foreclosure clean-out crews regularly advertise for help on free classified websites.

Although this is not an immediate solution to your situation, the example of one ex-offender and his solution to the situation you are facing may inspire you and your husband.

Tommy Edwards, owner of largeshoes4lovelyladies.com has a criminal past. He encountered the same employment problems your husband is experiencing.

His solution was to do foreclosure clean-out and lawn care for a contractor to a bank who handles foreclosure properties in the day while working on building an internet business at night. He started largeshoes4lovelyladies.com on a shoestring.

"I knew I would l have to solve my unemployment myself.I made some dumb choices in my past and now I was ready to work hard not to make any more.I taught myself how to do programming. Then I read everything I could find about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the science of building a website that search engines like Google and Yahoo will rank high when they scan it. Then I began looking for a product line to sell."

"I needed a niche product, something that wasn't readily available. I wanted a product that was considered a necessity. Something that people would pay a premium to buy and would be willing to pay shipping and handling costs to receive. Without a lengthy discussion of the products I did not select, I settled on large sized shoes for women."

"Because I was working with limited funds, I next set about finding a manufacturer who would drop/ship my orders - meaning I would never own the inventory, I merely send the orders to the manufacture that packs and ships the orders. I am paid a commission on each sale."

"I located a manufacturer who would drop/ship my orders and signed a contract with them. Then I set out to build my website and my business. With only a few months in business, and a few errors, I have a successful internet enterprise. I read everything I can find about improving my online business and know building this business is my rehabilitation."
