What jobs or licenses can Felons not get?
451764
depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

A lot of applications just ask if 'you have ever been convicted of a felony'.  They just have problems hiring convicted felons.\n\nA lot of people have little smudges on their records, most employers don't waste time on little things.\n\nBut they could, if they wanted to.

i doubt 1 DUI from that long ago will prevent you from getting the job. employers look for patterns and if that is your only one then you are probably safe. my ex bf got his engeneers lisense and a job with about 5 convictions showing for theft and all kinds of stuff. then again he can sell an ice box to an eskimo, so that may have helped in his favor. however if you have an engeneers certification then any future DUI's can get it revoked and you'll be up s*** creek. so quit drinking and driving.\n\nbtw you should be able to go down to the DMV or state police and have them run a check to see if it is showing on your current lisense. they'll probably charge you about $10, but at least you'll know either way.

Felony charges are serious crimes. I would think you would get at least a year, most alot more. Try putting felonies, and your state in yahoo search, there might be a list of felonies you can look at. Also if you have a felony it will be alot harder for you to find a job, most employers will ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony, if you lie and they find out you lied, its automatic that they fire you.

to the first guy... your an idiot..... \n\nnow back to your question You can find jobs a lot of places. Depends on what you were convicted for. You can get a job doing janitorial work, driving for companys, construction, mill work, production (putting things together) ect. There are many resources out there.

be honest about your past and don't go for jobs where a felony will not help you  like anything to do with money or kids  the felony will hurt you  you cant fix a felony its a permanent mark on your record

I think it's a total disgrace for an applicant to be refused employment after he has served his time. I can understand in the case of a child molester working with children or a robber working at a bank handling money. Something needs to been done to change those laws I agree fully. I believe it should be considered discrimination because after all you are locked up and your rights have already been taken away for a specific time period. Same thing for apartment housing , I'm not against background checks, people should know who they are hiring, but it should not prevent them from gettin a job or a place to live. I feel this is discrimanation also on felons. Apartments should have to provide apartment security because half of the criminals don't get caught anyway. They shouldn't prevent people from having housing and jobs. Probation officers require felons to go out and get a job if they don't they will have to go back to jail and the government will end up taking our tax dollars anyway to keep them up.

Depends on your work background and experience. Also if you have any thing on your public record, arrests, drug convictions, or any thing related, it is possible that you will have trouble getting a job of that caliber. \n Good Luck!!

Convicted felons are generally prohibited from possessing a firearm under both federal and many state laws.  That would tend to sink your ship right there, as law enforcement officers usually are armed.\n\nI'd agree with the other poster so far in that I can't imagine a law enforcement agency hiring a felon.  The felony conviction is something that would almost certainly have to be disclosed to the defense, and the credibility of the officer would effectively be shot.\n\nAs for being a lawyer: who knows?  Those guys get away with some of the most outrageous stuff I've ever seen (the DA in my county has been convicted of tax evasion and was sentenced to some period of time in jail...but he's still the DA and the liberal folks in this county seem to love him).  Go figure.\n\nGood luck with your quest...I hope you can find something that will make you happy and serve society well.\n\n1/29/06: Expungement is certainly something worth checking into, but don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you won't have to disclose your conviction to a law enforcement agency during the background process.  Laws probably vary by state, but I'd bet you have to disclose even an expunged conviction to a law enforcement agency you're applying to.

Most licensing laws only automatically preclude people with felony convictions if the conviction is somehow directly related to the job for which you are requesting licensure.  Almost universally, you will have to disclose your criminal record on your licensure application and provide an explanation of the charges, outcomes and any restitution or punishment.  They will then most likely conduct a full criminal background check to make sure you told the truth.  The results of the background check and the information you provide on your application will then be reviewed by the licensing board to determine if they feel that your past criminal record would impact your ability to perform the duties of the license you're requesting.  Any decision they make will have to be made based on the policies and or laws that govern the license.  You can obtain a copy of the relevant policies and laws by contacting the licensing board and asking for a copy or by checking out their website.

It wiil show up.Just look for jobs that only ask if you have been convicted in the last 5 or 7 years.That way you can say no.Also,you can just put down that you'll discuss it in the interview,then ask for one.I had the same problem,but it can be worked around.Besides,I wouldn't want to work anywhere the wouldn't excuse past mistakes.What is important is what you are doing now,and how the experience can be used to benefit others.It doesn't have to be a negetive.Look for jobs that your experience can be used to your advantage.I became an Addictions Counselor.Now I make $70 per hour,per person,and I don't do  groups smaller than 20 people.That's $1400 an hour,three times a week,and insurance pays it.Not bad for a convicted felon,huh?So use this to your advantage,it can be done.Don't give up,and good luck to you.

I believe that having a felony is grounds for deportation if someone is not a citizen of the United States.  Driving under the influence is a felony.  Non-citizens who commit felonies are usually required to serve their sentence here in the U.S. before being deported so it is not unusual for someone to be picked up by INS after they have finished their sentence (in this case, community service).
