| Because you were convicted of a felony ( also it can even depend on what type of felony) there are some jobs that you may not be able to do.
real estate agent, insurnace agent or two that come to mind, at least in my states, you can't even attend the school for them if you had been convicted of a felony without a wavier first.
Also of course if you and three other people apply for a job, and everyone has good job history and everyone has the same education, who will get the job, one who has a conviction on record or one who has no record ?? |
