About this Book
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.

"There is a fundamental public safety benefit in helping as many formerly
incarcerated men and women get jobs as soon as possible upon release. Not
only is it necessary for almost every release plan, but it is necessary for
the public good. Think about it. If they don't get jobs to enable them to
provide for themselves, what else do you think they are going to do?"
