For Ex-offenders having difficulty finding Jobs

At times looking for a job as an ex-offender seems like one dead end after another. There are things that can be done until that dream job comes along.


Temporary Agencies

Consider working as a temporary as a way of getting a permanent job. Temporary agencies are a great way to quickly get back into the working world. Many employers use agencies to try out new employees before hiring them. Good workers are hard to find. If an employer sees that you are hard working, punctual and fit in well, he may offer the job permanently. Some other advantages to using a temporary employment service:

1 You can try different types of work and develop new skills which can be used later.

2 You can make new contacts.

3 Build a work history.

4 Earn a wage until you can find permanent employment.

Make a list of temporary agencies in your area. Call each one to find out what types of jobs they have available. Apply just as you would any other employer.


One-Stop Career Centers

Each state has a network of centers that offer a variety of free services that can get you ready for work and assist you in finding employment. In addition, these centers offer training programs that may prepare you for a career. Some services available are:

Career planning and counseling

Workshops (Resume Writing, Interviewing Skills, and related topics.)

Computers with internet access and word processing

Daily access to thousands of job listings
Job-related magazines and local newspapers

Job postings and referrals

Printers, fax machines, phones, and copiers for job search use


You can find the nearest location of the One Stop Career Center in your local phone book or on the web at: www.servicelocator.org
