Um, GetNbak can some one please help me find work here N western Pa. ? drugoffender

I am from western pa i was fired today pecause of my felony conviction that they were aware of for the year i was employed there anyone know of any help for me

Nice article! I read a report like this that states some companies are starting to accept hiring felons. Like the report states, they are just looking to see if relates to the crime. I feel companies have to do this because of the increase of people getting felony convictions. They realize that by turning applicants away, they may loose on potential talent. Just because someone makes one bad decision, does not mean they should be labeled by that crime.

Again, thanks for the link!!

is your conviction job related? what did they tell you?

No my job was Mcdonalds i was up for manager and handled deposits everyday someone on the crew got wind that i was a sex offender and decided to call the corperate office the managers were very upset about it. I have had several interviews with no call backs.

Happened to me on more than one occassion Cuddle.

Good luck in the struggle, I hope every day for all of us to get another chance.

that sucks, i really feel for sex offenders. I hate how they are branding them. I interviewed at this one sh*thole place and they offered me the job. But, the place is not stable and i doubt they make it past August. Anyways, they only cared if my offense was not sex related. The media is really doing a bad job on sex offenders. You do your time, it should be over. Hopefully our country can go back to that thinking. I am sure one day it will, people are getting fed up with this PC society. Being human and making bad mistakes should not be a mark like this. Anyways, I am done venting..I may have a better job by the end of this week. :)
