Need job for a felon in or around pontiac, il

My little brother is a felon and can not find a job I been trying to help him and he is a father to be. If you know of jobs in or around Pontiac, IL 61764 please let me know.

I don't know about the exact places in your area and it is hard to find them this way. Even searches on Google won't really help. It is like this: your little brother needs to push the pavement a little. Here is a start though: http://www.ides.stat... This is the emplyment department in your state as laws are different per state. Start here , because this is usually the source with the most jobs for felons.

He can start with asking his probation or parole officer. Sometimes they can be helpful, but it is not often. Another suggestion is to try: Walmart, temporary agencies, Minyard, UPS, newspaper delivery, sell products at the flea market, get a barber, cosmotology or nail license, purchase property at tax sales and resale or do mystery shopping. Mystery Shopping is very easy, I have received payment of $9.00 up to $50.00 an hour and was reimbursed for the items that I purchaseded. You can get more assignments by getting certified for about $10.00. Also, he can try truck driving, it is possible to do local runs and not go out of state because of his probation. Some truck driving companies will sponsor students and pay for their classes, in some cases many are even guaranteed a job after completion of their truck driving classes. In my area most truck driving classes will even pay their students $400.00 a week as a trainee. Tell your brother to be encouraged and keep pushing. If Jesus was alive he would have been charged with a felony and most likely have difficulties finding a job as well.
