Ex-offenders face numerous challenges in making it on the outside. And most important is quickly finding and keeping a job in order to support themselves. That job often needs to be close to home as well as near their parole or probation officer. For many ex-offenders seeking their first job out, any job will do as long as it provides them with sufficient income to survive. Being released from prison or jail without money, a job, or family support, and facing immediate housing, clothing, food, and transportation needs - as well as probation and parole reporting requirements - they need to quickly land a job near where they live. This book introduces the concept of the "30/30 job search," which has been successfully used by thousands of job placement clients. It outlines a powerful 30-day program for job hunters who seek satisfying employment opportunities within 30 miles of any location in the United States. Filled with step-by-step advice on everything from identifying employers, writing resumes, and composing emails to leaving voicemail messages, interviewing, and follow-up over a 30-day period. © 2009. 128 pp.
