Finding a job.
I screwed up 4 years ago and stole some merchandise from my employer. I was convicted of a felony theft charge. Now I am looking for a half way decent job and getting shot down left and right. I did my probation and paid fines and restitution for more than the "lost" amount. Because of the felony, I can't seem to get on anywhere. I am college educated with a ton of experience, and always get called in for interviews and offered jobs. I am forthcoming about what happened because I don't want to waste my time or theirs. So, everything goes well; until they get to the background check. Then all of a sudden I can't be hired on.
Anyone know of a good company where I can earn a livable wage with the past transgression? |

I was actually looking for serious responses. I'm not seeing the humor in possibly losing my home.

Re: Finding a job.
I get that you guys want to have your fun, but I am serious. I have a bs job that my hours were cut in half, so I'm barely making enough to pay my cc bills and car payment. I got a roommate just to help on the mortgage so I won't lose my home(or try not to). If I should post in a different area, please direct me to that area. Other than that, I'd like to know if anyone has any sound advice.

Re: Finding a job.
How bout posting in a forum that isnt poker related?

Re: Finding a job.
lawyer? or you could go into a government institution; jail warden or bridge-toll taker. you could do that while playing poker. it's a win-win. except for the government, because you'll be keeping the toll money for yourself. which is an added win. it's a win-win-win-loss. final score: you:3, uncle sam:1.

I wanted to join the Air Force, but they won't take me because they think I have no integrity now due to the conviction. |

So if I lie on the application, then it comes up in background; it's a def way -EV move. |

Re: Finding a job.
What's OOT? I tried looking through most of the site to find the best place for this, and this seemed a good fit. Sorry for mis-placing it.. Getting back on track, anyone have any suggestions for me? I can go get these labor jobs that'll pay me $8 an hour, but that's a joke. I just need a decent paying job, not 6 figures or anything close. Just enough to get by on.

Re: Finding a job.
you'll probably find that this is the same in the army. the army may let you enlist, but you probably won't be able to advance very far.

Re: Finding a job.
sell quality nuggz to us and you'll be straight
we can teach you the process of packaging ya know |
Re: Finding a job.
I wouldn't care about advancing real far in the army, just making enough to pay bills. And please, no more illegal remedies. I don't want to further dig the hole I'm in by selling drugs or something.

Re: Finding a job.
I'm in same boat, which is much of the reason I play poker for a living. Nobody wants to hire someone with a criminal history for any kind of reasonable job, even if you have credentials and experience out the ass.
