Most lack information about opportunities appropriate for their red flag backgrounds. Once released, they often stumble from one low-paying and insecure \"hard labor\" job to another. Many have difficulty finding satisfying work and keeping a job for long. Unable to adequately support themselves as well as fulfill court-ordered financial obligations, many soon get into trouble that leads them back into prisons and jails. Not surprisingly, much of today's high recidivism rate (60-70%) directly relates to the issue of ex-offender employability and the ease of violating terms of release (fail to meet parole officer and\/or pay child support). What they most need is a GOOD JOB to jump-start their new life!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's the first book to examine jobs suitable for ex-offenders. Profiling 101 opportunities that are relatively open to people with not-so-hot backgrounds, this upbeat book gives renewed hope and direction to ex-offenders who are uncertain what they want to do, can do, and will do in the free world. It profiles 13 categories of jobs and occupations: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Construction trades and related jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Science, moth, engineering, and technology jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Production occupations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Transportation and material moving occupations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Travel and hospitality jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Computer and Internet jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Health and medical care jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sales and related jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sports, entertainment, and media jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Office and administrative support jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Military, government, and nonprofit jobs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Starting a business\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining most jobs in terms of employment outlook, nature of work, working conditions, education and training requirements, expected earnings, and recommended resources, the book serves as a handy directory for exploring numerous job options appropriate for ex-offenders.
