I am looking through this site on behalf of a friend of mind, thats been out of the system for about six years. I am providing him a place to stay until he is able to get back on to his feet. He becomes very discourage because he feels that he is being discriminated against when he goes on the countless number of interviews, only to be turned down because of his record. I am having a hard time trying to find employment listing upon this site. I have to be honest I didn’t put my real info in to get into this site because I did not want to be mistaken as an ex-felon, because I work in the school district. But the info above is my correct information. I would really want to find something that might grant him an opportunity to get on his feet. I believe in my heart that his does not plan to go back down the same path, but I am a realist, and I know that sometimes life put us in a situation that may cause us to make the wrong choice. But if we are preoccupied with steady employment, then I believe that we can decrease the chance of that happening. I am only helping cause I realize, that it could have possibly been me in this situation. Please help me, help him. God Bless you,
Robert Walker Jr.

My brother was arrested on gun charges twice when he was 17 years old. (The first time, he was threatened by gang members at school, the second was planted according to witnesses.) He went to bootcamp–not prison. Nevertheless, he graduated from DeVry with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. Still, no one will hire him based on his past. It’s ridiculous! He is now 33 and is STILL suffering for what happened to him 16 years ago! Since that time, he hasn’t been arrested, nor had any problems with the law. Yes, he has a JOB, as a maintenance manager after slaving for so many years. Needless to say, he wants more. I can understand if this happened recently, but 16 years ago? Come on! Can ANYONE gives me some info to pass to him?

Thanks for your sharing your personal story! I am publishing it to this blog post in hopes that someone in the electrical engineering business can reach out to you with some tips or advice. I will also let you know if I come across something in this particular industry that may suit him.
