Here's the first book to examine jobs suitable for ex-offenders. Profiling 101 opportunities that are relatively open to people with not-so-hot backgrounds, this revealing book gives renewed hope and direction to ex-offenders who are uncertain what they want to do, can do, and will do in the future.  It profiles 13 categories of jobs and occupations:

•  Construction trades and related jobs

•  Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations

•  Science, math, engineering, and technology jobs

•  Production occupations

•  Transportation and material moving occupations

•  Travel and hospitality jobs

•  Computer and Internet jobs

•  Health and medical care jobs

•  Sales and related jobs

•  Sports, entertainment, and media jobs

•  Office and administrative support jobs

•  Military, government, and nonprofit jobs

•  Starting a business

Examining many jobs in terms of employment outlook, nature of work, working conditions, education and training requirements, expected earnings, and recommended resources, the book serves as a handy reference for exploring job options appropriate for ex-offenders who want to jump-start their lives with a good job that leads to a rewarding career.  The book includes summary charts of today's best jobs and separate chapters on transitional employment experiences, job restrictions on ex-offenders, and internal and external barriers to employment.

The message throughout this ground-breaking book is very clear:  Ex-offenders are employable.  Given useful information, an action plan, and a positive attitude coupled with drive, they can become successful. © 2015. 144 pp.  7" x 10" Softcover.
