I am trying to find a position, however, I am having a difficult time because of the felony. Does anyone have any advice on where I should look? I have had so many doors slammed in my face that I don't know what I am going to do. I have worked very hard to straighten my life out and want to be able to do what I love for a profession. Any insight that you all can share would be greatly appreciated....Thanks.

I'm not for sure what state your in, but in the state of Illinois that have what is called a medical waiver for convicted felons. You should contact either your local aldermans office for assistants or your secratary of state office. I my self am a convicted felon, it has been over 7 years for me so I have contacted a attorney to represent my case in front of the governer to have my case expunged and sealed, which can still take up to 2 year to be complete, but it really the only chance that I myself have.

I hope this info is helpful to you
