Savino, Carl S.

Many ex-offenders have difficulty finding stable jobs that lead to promising futures. Most lack information about opportunities appropriate for their red flag backgrounds. Once released, they often stumble from one low-paying and insecure "hard labor" job to another. Many have difficulty finding satisfying work and keeping a job for long. Unable to adequately support themselves as well as fulfill court-ordered financial obligations, many soon get into trouble that leads them back into prisons and jails. Not surprisingly, much of today's high recidivism rate (60-70%) directly relates to the issue of ex-offender employability and the ease of violating terms of release (fail to meet parole officer and/or pay child support). What they most need is a GOOD JOB to jump-start their new life!
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 upbeat book gives renewed hope and direction to ex-offenders who are uncertain what they want to do, can do, and will do in the free world. It profiles 13 categories of jobs and occupations:
- Construction trades and related jobs
- Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations
- Science, moth, 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 most 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 directory for exploring numerous job options appropriate for ex-offenders. 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 is very clear: Ex-offenders ARE employable. Given the right informational tools and an action plan, they CAN become successful. The perfect book for creating a new future filled with freedom, purpose, joy, and prosperity!

First and foremost, they must quickly find a job and keep it in order to support themselves in the free world.

They include three unique principles for job search success: - Talent Intersecting Opportunity (TIO) Principle - Talent and Geography (TAG) Principle - 30-Mile Placement Principle Filled with step-by-step advice on everything from identifying employers, writing resumes, and composing emails to leaving voicemail messages, interviewing, and following up over a 30-day period, here is the book that can make a big difference in the lives of ex-offenders who need a lifeboat job to survive in today's challenging economy.

What do successful job seekers do that separates them fromtheir less successful counterparts? Here's the book that provides 127 answersto that question. In fact, millions of job seekers face employment barriers.While some barriers may be caused by other people (discrimination) orcircumstances beyond one's control (chronic health issues or naturaldisasters), most barriers represent self-inflected red flags created by poorchoices, questionable skills, sketchy experience, and difficult personalities.Few job seekers are victims of a lousy job market, bad employers, or dumb luck.It's a candidate's own cumulative red flags or potholes in life – job hopping,incarceration, termination, time gaps, negative attitudes, and limitededucation, skills, and experience – that make employers suspicious, hesitant,reluctant, and then resistant to interview and hire such risky people. Similar toaddictions, old habits are difficult to break, and denial prevents many peoplefrom changing their red flag behaviors. But few employment barriers are everinsurmountable. Most self-inflicted barriers pose challenges that requirechanges in attitudes and mindsets – renewed understanding, purpose,determination, and the drive to succeed. This user-friendly guide, overlaidwith a strong cognitive therapy theme, initially profiles each barrier as aseries of introspective questions and then provides descriptions and analysesfollowed by sound advice on how to best overcome the particular barrier.Organized by different types of barriers and related red flags, the bookincludes: - 12 barriers related to skills and work history - 27 barriersassociated with attitudes and behaviors - 8 barriers focused to health,wellness, and disabilities - 80 barriers centered on job search knowledge andskills How do successful job seekers approach their job search, communicatewith potential employers, complete applications, market resumes and letters,and get job interviews and offers?
