What jobs are a violent felon allowed to do?

I know someone who committed a violent crime of passion (assault) and they received a felony for it. Their record will be expunged/sealed in about 6 months and I was wondering what kind of jobs could they apply for both before and after the sealing of the criminal record?

What jobs are a violent felon allowed to do?
It is not true the expungement and sealing of records will prevent anyone from finding out about his record. Any government job and in some cases, any job where government licensing will be involved, will have access to those records, all the expungement and sealing will would prevent the record on showing up on a basic background check.





Most employers will ask if felony has been committed in the last 10 years; even with an expunged record, if he answers no and it comes to light later on, the employer can justifiably terminate him for lying on his job application.





Industries that are more forgiving of felonies are the skilled trades: construction, electrical, automotive techincian and masonry.





A starter job for many felons just out of prision is a warehouse job with Salvation Army and Goodwill or handler at a recycling plant.
Reply:usually they get a government job.
Reply:basic entry level, not handling cash jobs.
Reply:Apply with the United States Postal Service. With all the nutjobs working there you(your friend) will fit in well.
Reply:Non licensed jobs many places wont even check. But they may not be careers that you are looking for. There are some good programs out there, a lot of retail, decent data entry jobs and the like.





Your state should have listings available to you. If not, check with your county.





Good luck.
Reply:Pretty much anything out there in the private sector. Remember, the record will be expunged and no longer visable to anyone.
Reply:In most states they can still obtain a Nursing License, Fed-ex, Trucking firms allot of business that say they are EOC Employers must disclose why they would not hire a reformed felon and this is a close line with Employment Discrimination.





Who knows you could contact US Department of Justice with any Employment Discrimination..
