Hello, my name is james and I am 29 years old I made mistake being young 24 at the time, and I got a charge for idenitiy theft, I did 30 days in jail and was put on 5 years felony probation... I am unemployed and it has been hell tryn to find a good paying job for the past 2 years... I was a maintenance tech off and on for 5 years through a temp agency... well that company no longer exist... and now I'm stuck because no other company want's to offer me a chance. I just got off probation and still having a hard time... does anyone have any ideas on what I can do... thank you

You say maintenance tech, could this be something that you could start you own business? There's plenty people here to advise you on start-up. Good luck and don't give up.

Hello all:

I think part has got it right. When a professional is called, nobody wants to check his criminal record.
