who here would hire an ex convict?

Regardless of the reasons...you made your bed and now you have to lay in it.

Society judges people by their deeds...

With the internet today anyone can do a back ground check on another in seconds...

Nobody wants to take a chance on felons because of what could happen. How can anyone be totally sure you are rehabilitated fully and won't turn...

Would you trust you alone with your family & business.

There are thousands of "good" people out of work that would make a better employee...based on past deeds...

You are in a very sad situation and you are the blame...like it or not...

Start your own business....painting or lawn care or window washing....build your good reputation again...

I brought myself up in the middle of an inner city.

Ex armed robber.
Ex drug dealer.
Ex thug for hire.
Ex convict.
I have over 40 convictions.


No fucker wants to employ me even though I have not been arrested for a crime for over 10 years.

I have to work shit cash jobs like digging trenches wheel barrowing and basically most of the shit jobs on building sites, good money but I only get work through friends or no work at all, so at the moment I get maybe 2 3 days a month.

I was an orphan so had no guidance, I was wild like an animal, never cared for others at all, got my first arrest at the age of 11 years old, I was stealing food to eat as I was alone.

They sent me to a children's home, they could not control me, I ran away and have been alone since the age of 12, by the time I was 16 I was a professional armed robber having robbed most of the local high st banks you see today, then got a conscience so stopped robbing banks as I was scaring the tellers so started to rob drug dealers, then I had to get rid of the drugs so became a drug dealer, then I got good at it so started to import, then my conscience kicked in again so I gave it all up to work a normal job,. have not had one since I gave up all that stuff all those years ago, now what, now what is society meant to do with people like me, I am smart I taught myself to read and write, good at math never had to write down what was owed to me it all stays in the head, taught myself how to use computers, I am a qualified fitness instructor, (passed course in jail) plus life guard, no one will hire me, so I dig, I carry, I smash, I load, I do manual bullshit, I am fit and healthy, I have two wonderful kids and an understanding woman, she luckily is working or we would be in trouble, she earns a good wage but I want to support my family, who glp would hire an ex armed robber or someone who used to beat the police up for fun?


Society turned its back on me as a kid, now they do it again as an adult, I may as well be who they wish and make loads of money in ways society does not approve of, I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Here here, spoken like a true American.

Incidentally, you do understand that the USA has more prisoners per capita than any other place in the world, including the old USSR.

Further, the USA has the most cases of 'repeat' offenders - not because they didn't try, but because so many people in America lack charity, compassion and even human decency to give a guy a break.

40+ years ago a guy stepping out of prison was considered to have paid his debt to society in full. Today Society insists on making him pay, and pay and pay again.

The problem is not the ex-cons. Most, especially first time offenders try real hard when they are first released to never go back again.

Since they have had such an experience that you can't really fully imagine, they try harder, work harder, and if given sufficient breaks and a decent go at it, most never, ever make the same mistake twice.

THAT is why I started hiring mostly ex-cons. I saw decent hard work - real hard work, and grateful men - mean grateful for the change to 'make it right'. They worked hard to stay out of prison (once was enough, nobody likes it in there).

Give me two people with the same credentials, education and skill sets, I will hire the ex-con over the person who has never been arrested. Why?

Because I know the ex-con is going to be willing to work harder to not go back. S/he has already had a taste of that. That young upstart that never got caught, will slack all day long and do less because they didn't have the 'bad experience' to teach them what exactly to be grateful for in life.

That rap sheet was that size when I was 19, yea a real adult in some eyes but I was a child without guidance, all I saw was others with stuff, I had nothing including a roof, so yea maybe I did make my own bed, but as a society you and others with opinions like yours added to that bed so do not think you did not for one second.

lol, what is wrong with tattoos?

You may be surprised but many, many hot women love them and they actually open doors for me. In addition, they cover easily with a long sleeve short so I could fool 100% of your CEO's who foolishly says what you had said with a simple long sleeve shirt.

Having tattoos is just screaming poor decision making skills...

baliff, doorman/bouncer, contract killer. stuff like that.

Yer goose is cooked. I wouldn't hire you to pick up my dogs shit. Besides, you're obviously dumb as a bag o hammers.

I'm not an ex-convict myself, but I did some dumb shit myself in my youth, so I can relate, to a point.

That said...

You have obviously done some pretty bad things in the past. I think if you went into detail on some of your low points, people would freak out. It's only natural that people are cautious of you.

The question is of course, just how converted are you really? I would wish to look you in the eye and let my soul be the judge, before I hired you. If I then see you have cleaned your house, I might even hire you before someone else equally qualified, because that shows great spirit!

But if I look you in the eye and see a bully, I'll kick you out in a second. I truly can't stand bullies, and I want nothing to do with them. This goes beyond logic and reason, it is actual hate. I have suffered enough from bullies as a kid, and there's not a chance in hell I'm giving one of them a chance to hurt me as an adult!

This is all extremely academical though, since I'm not an employer anyway!

So basically, let ME define who and what you are based on KNOWLEDGE I have of you which I can use to MY advantage.

You take someones "record" to define them as beneath you, in essence making them your slave.

...can't even carry your own "bully water". I mean face it. It is YOU that is bullying HIM.
