Hello p:
This is the introductions board. You should have asked your question somewhere else... But, you're a newbie and you didn't know... Ain't no big deal. Somebody will move it...
In terms of how you find work, I have two pieces of advice. First off, I KNOW felons work, and I KNOW it's harder for felons to get jobs. So, if it takes an ordinary citizen 5 interviews before he gets a job, you might have to go on 10.
The next thing is, try to get jobs at mom and pop type of places where you can interview with the guy who does the hiring on your first visit. Because, if you get hired, it'll be because of YOU. If you just leave a resume and they see the word felon, they'll NEVER call you.

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, plangston123!
I moved your question out of Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by those who are best able to answer it. Your question will get noticed much more here.
Introductions is for people to introduce themselves only, and we try to not ask questions there. We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little bit about yourself, if you would be willing to do that.
I do note, that your question already received a couple of responses while it was in Introductions.
Concerning your question, what kind of education, employment experience, job skills and training do you already have, please?
Thanks!
