How to get a job when I've been charged of a felony?

Hello, I am a 29 yr old female. And I am here to tell you that although few, far and inbetween, their is hope… I have 2 convictions, both for possesion of narcotics. I moved out of the state I received the felonies in 3 years ago. I am now drug free, have a new drug free husband, and a brand new 3 month old beautiful little girl (also drug free, ha ha, lol) Although, for identity purposes I do not want to tell you the exact state I recieved the charges in, I will tell you that I lived in the southern part of the us and moved to the midwest. Thank god for this move, because it did truley save my life, but that is a whole other subject and story. Now back to the job for convicted felons situation. Like I said before I have a 3 month old, so I just recently started looking for work, it has been 1 and 1/2 weeks since I started my job search to be exact. I applied for a position doing office work… Yes, the company does background checks, and no I did not check the box for convicted felon, hense, I LIED… So, went on the interview, the interviewer loved me and loved the experience I had. Checked all of my previous employer references, and of course loved them tooo. To make a long story short she offerd me the position pending the background check results and of course the infamous drug test, which of course, I was not worried about at all for once in my life. So I was biting my nails for 2 whole days and thank to the lord jesus up above, I was called and told my background check came back good and they want me to start very soon. All I can say, is keep on trying. I mean think about this, if we spent half of the energy we spent doing drugs and breaking the law on finding a job, we would have sooo many job offers we wouldn’t know what to do with them. I know this counrty is on a very fast downward spiral, and I no longer believe that this is the land of opportunity, it was a very long time ago, but not anymore. I know that things are really hard out there, I know becuse I too have been through it, all I can say is use your head, really try, eat, sleep, and drink getting a job and something will eventually come along. Stay away from big corporations, look for a small, medium sized companies that don’t do background checks, they do exist believe it or not… As for me, I got lucky and am very blessed. The employer that hired me, only checked statewide, had they done it nationwide, I would have been screwed. Good luck to you…
