In need of employment

I am in Nashville, TN. I am a convicted felon that needs a job. I am, contrary to what others say a good guy, in recovery. Where can I find a job. I really need help. A decent job with decent pay. I don't want to be rich but I need enough money to suppor t myself. Can anyone help?

Start at your local Employment Department for your state.

APPLY THIS ANSWER TO YOU....OK?
I cannot tell you the companies, however if you or someone you know are looking for work and their past record is holding them/you back, try starting your own business. A good area is window washing for businesses. I like this because overhead is low. You will need maybe 75.00 to 100.00 in equipment. Learning how to do this is alittle bit of an art, but anyone can do it, you just have to practice for an hour or so after you have watched a commercial window cleaner in action. Really it's not any different than doing your car windows at the gas station. How to charge? Here you will charge about 80 cents per side. Take the total of windows and sides and round it off to the highest dollar amount. If you do a small business for example with 4 windows and a door, you could charge around 7-8 dollars inside and out. Most businesses will want them cleaned 2 to 4 times a month. If you get bigger accounts than of course your fee will increase. Once you you have learned how to clean windows a 8-10 dollar job should only take you about 10 to 15 minutes. Now look at ALL the businesses in and around phoenix that you could start asking if they need their windows cleaned. It is hard work but if you can go into 50 to 60 businesses a day and ask them if you can give them a quote on cleaning their windows you will be successful. Have you noticed your background never came up here. Your background is not for me to judge, and I am taking into consideration by your question that you just made a small mistake and want to start a better life. This would be my advice to you. Hope it helps.
The potential is unlimited. You can start a new life, and be in control of your income.
