Top 10 Jobs For Ex Felons

Getting a job with a felony on your record can be very difficult, as you probably already know. Jobs for felons are difficult to get, and most companies wont hire a felon. The ones that do generally don't pay very well. I have compiled a list of the top 10 jobs for felons. Helpful tip: if your felony is over 7 years old, most states dont allow background checks to go back that far. If your state has this law, you can answer 'no' on an application.

Top 10 List

#1 Recommended Job - Online GPT Services

This is the best job for a felon, because it requires no screenings whether it be background checks, drug tests, etc. Everyone is accepted, and you work on your own time and you can be your own boss. Online 'GPT' or "Get-Paid-To" services offer a great way to make a few hundred dollars a month without spending a lot of time working. My experience with GPT services has been a great one, and I recommend this as the best job in my list of Top 10 Jobs for Felons.

#2 Job - Privately owned small businesses

Some chain businesses have rules again accepting felons. Small business owners are more likely to accept you. They will take more of a 'risk' in hiring employees.

Many people will still use your services as long as you get the job done. If you work hard, it doesn't matter.

See if you can work in a family or friend's business. They will be happy to hire you if you are willing to work hard.

#5 Job - Temp Agency

Temp agencies can occasionally find good work for you. Many times it will be day labor, so be in good physical shape.

#6 Job - Telephone Customer Service

Many companies are willing to hire felons for over the phone customer service, because you aren't dealing with the people in person.

#7 Job - Start your own business

You can start your own business. One idea is to go to school to be a locksmith, and start your own company.
