Good morning every one;
I have found like any other industry in the United States it is difficult for some one with a Felony conviction to gain employment. After a period of over 10 years (arrested in 1993 and convicted in 1994 released in 1995 off of supervision since 1997) I find that in 2010 the State and some transport companies are very harsh against a person who made a bad judgement. Almost 20 years since I have been arrested and some EMT's have DWI's and Traffic issues (which I never had... I dont drink or smoke intoxicants) and yet there is almost an impossibility of aquiring a 911 job. Does any one have any simular stories and suggested solutions (btw expungment is out of the question because of the nature of the crime) Just one more thing if the state will approve me (and I hope the government standards should be the bench mark...) why cant there be some consideration.
