    You keep applying until someone hires you.

    You may have to take just any job, not necessarily a "good" job, until you build up some credibility again.

    my fiance had that same problem but here is what we did for him the department of labor has two programs one is the wia program and the other is topstep program both are designed to help the ex offender get employment. they are slow programs so no quick or easy jobs but they work in time. plus you can call your local city hall and they are supposed to have a list of employers who hire convicted felons. and ups hires convicted felons as long as their charges dont include theft well as they put it no dishonest crimes. good luck sweetheart. i can only imagine how hard it is my fiance was ready to give up to but you have to keep trying. the job market is like a car lot you have to sell yourself boost up what you are good at doing if you concentrate on what you can do for the employer sometimes they overlook your past

    It's not just those with felony records that can't get good jobs these days. The job market pretty much stinks right now. Lots of McJobs thanks to technology export and NAFTA, not a lot of good ones - regardless of criminal record.

    Keep applying or start a business.
