Ex-Offender's New Job Finding and Survival Guide

Originally published as The Ex-Offender''s Job Hunting Guide (2005), this ground-breaking book offers sound re-entry employment advice for those with red flags in their backgrounds and those who may appear unemployable. Indeed, finding a good job is the number one challenge facing thousands of ex-offenders entering the free world each day. In fact, the United States is the world''s most "arrested society" -- 707 of every 100,000 people are locked up; nearly 12 million people circulate in and out of prisons, jails, and detention centers each year; 2.2 million are incarcerated in state and local prisons; 5.5 million are on parole or probation; and 70 million have an arrest or conviction that may appear as a red flag in their background.
Successful re-entry is especially difficult for those who have lost everything, including hope and optimism. Without a decent job and support network to help meet immediate food, housing, transportation, and health care needs, and often saddled with onerous financial obligations (fines, restitution, child support payments, accumulated debts), many ex-offenders fall back on old dysfunctional habits, relationships, and temptations that lead them back to prisons, jails, and detention centers.While many employers may not want to hire someone with a criminal record, others are willing to give ex-offenders a second chance and help them get back on their feet and move ahead with their lives. In fact, we live in a society that both admires and supports people who can pick themselves up, transform their lives, and go on to achieve their dreams.
But what should ex-offenders do in order to land a good job? Where should they go to find a job they do well and enjoy doing? What strategies work best for them? This book provides important answers to many re-entry questions facing ex-offenders. Beginning with an examination of 20 myths/realities and 22 principles for success, one of America''s leading employment and re-entry experts reveals 10 steps to job and career success:
1. Examine and change your attitudes
2. Seek assistance and become proactive
3. Select appropriate job search approaches
4. Assess your skills and identify your motivational pattern
5. State a powerful objective
6. Conduct research on jobs and communities
7. Write effective resumes and letters
8. Network for information, advice, and referrals
9. Develop winning job interview skills
10. Negotiate salary and benefits like a pro
He includes two special chapters – (1) how to survive and prosper on the job as well advance your career, and (2) how to best navigate the electronic world (increasingly an important life skill) after spending so much time behind a prison firewall!
Rich in insights and filled with practical examples, exercises, self-tests, and resources, here''s the book that can make a big difference for ex-offenders and those who assist them. It shows them how to contact employers who will want to hire them because of their unique talents, positive attitudes, and strong employer-centered motivations. Best of all, they learn how to find a job they both do well and enjoy doing as they go on to living a new and productive life centered around work, family, and community. Foreword by Joyce Lain Kennedy.

Many ex-offenders have difficulty finding stable jobs that lead to promising futures. Most lack information about opportunities appropriate for their red flag backgrounds. Once released, they often stumble from one low-paying and insecure "hard labor" job to another. Many have difficulty finding satisfying work and keeping a job for long. Unable to adequately support themselves as well as fulfill court-ordered financial obligations, many soon get into trouble that leads them back into prisons and jails. Not surprisingly, much of today''s high recidivism rate (60-70%) directly relates to the issue of ex-offender employability and the ease of violating terms of release (fail to meet parole officer and/or pay child support). What they most need is a GOOD JOB to jump-start their new life!
Here''s the first book to examine jobs suitable for ex-offenders. Profiling 101 opportunities that are relatively open to people with not-so-hot backgrounds, this upbeat book gives renewed hope and direction to ex-offenders who are uncertain what they want to do, can do, and will do in the free world. It profiles 13 categories of jobs and occupations:
- Construction trades and related jobs
- Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations
- Science, moth, engineering, and technology jobs
- Production occupations
- Transportation and material moving occupations
- Travel and hospitality jobs
- Computer and Internet jobs
- Health and medical care jobs
- Sales and related jobs
- Sports, entertainment, and media jobs
- Office and administrative support jobs
- Military, government, and nonprofit jobs
- Starting a business
Examining most jobs in terms of employment outlook, nature of work, working conditions, education and training requirements, expected earnings, and recommended resources, the book serves as a handy directory for exploring numerous job options appropriate for ex-offenders. Includes summary charts of today''s best jobs and separate chapters on transitional employment experiences, job restrictions on ex-offenders, and internal and external barriers to employment. The message throughout is very clear: Ex-offenders ARE employable. Given the right informational tools and an action plan, they CAN become successful. The perfect book for creating a new future filled with freedom, purpose, joy, and prosperity!

Ex-Offenders Need Seasoned Advice on How to Quickly Land a Lifeboat JobEx-offenders face numerous challenges in making it on the outside. First and foremost, they must quickly find a job and keep it in order to support themselves in the free world. And that job often needs to be close to home as well as near their parole or probation officer. For many ex-offenders seeking their first job out, any job will do as long as it provides them with sufficient income to survive. Put another way, they need to quickly find a lifeboat job. A lifeboat job is one individuals need to find NOW in order to keep themselves financially afloat. It''s essentially a survival job – not one that necessarily leads to an exciting career or high wages. It''s all about meeting the necessities of life and becoming self-sufficient on the outside. Such jobs are important steeping stones to a better life.Ex-offenders know all too well the importance of lifeboat jobs. Being released from prison or jail without money, a job, or family support, and facing immediate housing, clothing, food, and transportation needs – as well as probation and parole reporting requirements – they need to quickly land a job near where they live.This book introduces the concept of the “30/30 Job Search™”,” which has been successfully used by thousands of job placement clients. It outlines a powerful 30-day program for job hunters who seek satisfying employment opportunities within 30 miles of any location in the United States. The authors reveal how anyone with a stable work history and marketable skills can quickly find a job close to home by using an arsenal of unconventional job search strategies and techniques that get the attention of prospective employers. Indeed, they outline the fastest, most effective job hunting system anywhere for finding employment. They include three unique principles for job search success: - Talent Intersecting Opportunity (TIO) Principle- Talent and Geography (TAG) Principle- 30-Mile Placement PrincipleFilled with step-by-step advice on everything from identifying employers, writing resumes, and composing emails to leaving voicemail messages, interviewing, and following up over a 30-day period, here is the book that can make a big difference in the lives of ex-offenders who need a lifeboat job to survive in today''s challenging economy. - E-bokEngelska, 2019

Designed as a quick and fun read, this powerful little pocket guide helps ex-offenders jump-start their lives by re-imagining an alternative reality within their grasp -- a positive and hopeful future filled with purpose, passion, meaning, empathy, and love. It’s a “get-up-and-go” guide for those experiencing the dark side of life – in this case, serving idle time in an often mind-numbing and stressful human zoo. Being locked in a cage changes many things, especially one’s mindset. Fear, distrust, boredom, loneliness, anger, grief, depression, and hopelessness frequently characterize the mental state of inmates. While it often scrambles minds and exacerbates “mental drift,” prison also offers opportunities to rethink, refocus, re-imagine, and repack one’s bags for pursuing a meaningful life. Indeed, anxious and curious minds behind prison bars seek answers to these two knee-bending questions that serve as clarion calls for taking life-changing actions – “Is there more to life than this?” and “What should I do with the rest of my life?” These questions serve as clarion calls for self-transformation. This self-directed pocket guide shows ex-offenders how to change their thinking about who they are, what they want to do, and where they want to be. Nine key sections – filled with a rich collection of revealing self-tests, exercises, questions, insights, and strategies – provide a strong foundation for developing one’s purpose: 1. Happiness 2. Gratitude 3. Mindfulness 4. Attitude 5. Anger management 6. Values 7. Passions 8. Motivated abilities and skills 9. Goals and objectives. Rich with analyses and insights, the book shows how to join the growing number of mindful people – especially those with restless minds who struggle with boredom, loneliness, anger, and depression – who have transformed themselves into happy, healthy, resilient, wise, kind, loving, self-compassionate, socially connected, and successful individuals. They’ve discovered one of the great secrets to re-entry success -- how to live a meaningful life on purpose and with passion, a life centered on one’s most important values, skills, and goals. A terrific resource for re-examining and re-building the troubled lives of ex-offenders. - E-bokEngelska, 2016

Millions of job seekers face employment barriers. While some barriers may be caused by other people (discrimination) or circumstances beyond one’s control (chronic health issues or natural disasters), most barriers represent self-inflected red flags created by poor choices, questionable skills, sketchy experience, difficult personalities, and mediocre efforts. Few job seekers are victims of a lousy job market, bad employers, or dumb luck. It’s a candidate’s own cumulative red flags or potholes in life – job hopping, incarceration, termination, time gaps, negative attitudes, and limited education, skills, and experience – that make employers suspicious, hesitant, reluctant, and then resistant to interview and hire such risky people.Similar to addictions, old habits are difficult to break, and denial prevents many people from changing their red flag behaviors. But few employment barriers are ever insurmountable. Most self-inflicted barriers pose challenges that require changes in attitudes and mindsets – renewed understanding, purpose, determination, and the drive to succeed. This user-friendly guide, overlaid with a strong cognitive therapy theme, initially profiles each barrier as a series of introspective questions and then provides descriptions and analyses followed by sound advice on how to best overcome the particular barrier. Organized by different types of barriers and related red flags, the book includes:- 12 barriers related to skills and work history- 27 barriers associated with attitudes and behaviors- 8 barriers focused to health, wellness, and disabilities- 80 barriers centered on job search knowledge and skillsHow do successful job seekers approach their job search, communicate with potential employers, complete applications, market resumes and letters, and get job interviews and offers? How do they handle rejections and bounce back? The 127 barriers outlined in this book go a long way to answering these important questions. Military-to-Civilian Transition Pocket Guide

Each year nearly 250,000 servicemembers make the BIG LEAP – they leave the military for an uncertain but always challenging civilian world. Deciding where to live and what to do are serious life-changing issues. For some, separation results in satisfying full-time retirement, or they go on to rewarding post-military jobs.

No question about it – by almost any measure, America operates the world’s largest, costliest, and most dysfunctional criminal justice ($250 billion) and incarceration ($80 billion) systems. With nearly 2.2 million prisoners in state and federal institutions, another 12 million circulating in and out of jails and detention centers, and 77 million with arrest records, America is an arrested society with more troubling rap sheets than promising resumes!
