Tips for Finding Work After a Felony

✅ Be Honest: Don’t try to hide your past—own it. Many of these companies already know what’s up and appreciate the honesty.

✅ Get Help: Organizations like Workforce Solutions South Plains and Texas ReEntry Programs can help you prep your resume and connect with job leads.

✅ Follow Up: Just like in radio, persistence pays off. If they don’t call you—call them. Show you want it.

✅ Dress the Part: First impressions matter. Show up on time, be respectful, and ready to work.

✅ Stay Positive: Don’t let one “no” knock you down. Keep applying—there’s a “yes” out there.
