Hello anyone reading this. Name is chris and my sister is a can right now. She is going to ask for me at her job, but I figured I would ask here as well. Being I am in NYS, I wanted to ask if anyone knew the criteria about being hired with a felony, in my case 2.

I am on parole, been on it for one year, have 8 months to go. I am currently working at a retail job making minimum wage and the bills are piling up. My charge was possession of marijuana. I don't know if in NYS being a non violent means anything.

My sister likes her job, makes good money and I just want to know if I should bother trying if it gets me no where. My options are very limited right now as in what I can get into, but if I could get into this, I would go for it. Thanks
