EmploymentFinding post-incarceration employment can be an almost monumental task. Find tips, job offers and stories from those of us that have experienced it first hand.
My honey will be home in baout nine months and I need to strat looking for work for him. He is incarcerated in Cali but will parole here to Houston. Where can I start looking? Does anyone know of a company that is known to hire parolees?
Please help, I have to return info to him asap!
The only one I know of off hand that will hire without blinking about a prison record is Off shore work... that is the best place that I can suggest starting. Maybe check with the local Workforce commission here in houston and ask them if they have any listings, etc.. of anyone in Houston that will hire a man with a record....
Good luck to you... hopefully I will be in your shoes in the next 6 months.... If you need a friend - Im close to Houston...

Thank you Lisa, I'll look into it. It's just kinda hard because I am new to Houston myself. I mean it was hard enough to find work for myself(with a clean record) let alone my hunny who has his prison record...
Have him try some of the Temporary Employment Agencies. A lot of employers try out potential employees this way and if they like you they will overlook a lot of stuff. That's how I got a job here.
