Answer 4

Depends on what it is. If it was not a violent crime, he has a better chance. He is not obligated to offer any information on his criminal background unless asked. He has to honestly explain the circumstances of the conviction, and assure the potential employer that he wants to live an honest life. Many places will turn him down, but they will respect his honesty, and some who will be able to over look his past may give him another chance.

There are some day-labor positions where his criminal background would not be an issue. If he can hold down a "low-level" job for a few years with no problems, then he will have a better chance at other jobs later, especially if he goes to school and gets an education. Most employers will overlook non-violent convictions more than a few years old for an otherwise outstanding candidate, and some states disallow employers from considering a conviction more than 7 years old.

Also, check with your local employment office. They have programs to work with employers who are willing to rehabilitate people with criminal records.

Answer 5

I will not hire a felon for anything.

The risk is to great for me.

Plus it is in our handbook and against company policy.

Being a felon follows you, ruins your life.

Try landscaping.
