Hello My name is Redrick and I'm on probation for berglary. Ive done a lot of refecting and growing since I 1st got intruble but its going on 4 years and I can't find a job and I'm really behind on payments and can't last much longer. Ive been on a couple of interviews but they all end the same. Im trying really hard not to do anything illigal but it seems likethats the only way to recive income.


P.s Ive tried filling out applications at Fast Food resterants and one of the managers at Burger King told me they would rather hire a murder then me. He said it was an incures thing.

I'm really not sure what sort of help you're asking for, especially since you posted this in the criminal law section. You're already been convicted, and you're on probation. This is on your record.

What sort of help do you hope to get here?

Try connecting up with a counselor or social worker through an agency like Catholic Charities or a Lutheran agency, and if you are in the US, call your county human resource department to connect with a social worker. (All of that is very low cost.) One of our experts who would advise you well (excon is his name) is offline right now, but I will alert him to this thread.

I'm sorry I think I miss categorized my question but my question was how do I find work or who will hire a felon of the Burglary type

Hello Red:


who will hire a felon of the Burglary typeNobody.. That's cause your boss is NOT a social worker. He WOULD hire a guy who his company CANNOT do without, who ALSO happens to be a felon. Do you see the difference? Don't LEAD with, "I'm a felon". Lead with "I can do that job BETTER than anybody you've ever seen".

I'd apply to small mom and pop shops where you can actually TALK with the owner. If you just leave a resume with the word FELONY on it, you'll NEVER get called back.
