I Need a J-O-B! The Ex-Offender's Job Search Manual

Studies have shown that getting an ex-offender a steady job reduces the likelihood that the ex-offender will return to prison. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done, as ex-offenders often have many roadblocks that make it difficult for even the most diligent and earnest job seekers to find a job. Many employers havre guarded attitudes toward formerly incarcerated persons, and some will outrtight never hired an ex-offender, believing that "once a criminal, always a criminal."
 
However, there are many ex-prisoners who truly want to do the right thing when they are released, and they just need for someone to give them a chance. However, in almost every case, the ex-prisoner needs to be prepared for the work world. The ex-offender who reads and studies this book will receive practical information that will help increase the odds of finding employment. Information about beating frustration, organizing for a job search, and even where to look for available positions will help the ex-offender overcome the obstacles to steady employment.
