Best Dream Jobs for a Convicted Felon – Employment for ex Prisoners

Best Dream Jobs for a Convicted Felon – Employment for ex Prisoners

 

AutoZone HUB driver

An HUB driver would be a dream job for a convicted felon they would not have to interact with many people on a day to day bases. Hub driver can look to getting up wards of 10 dollars an hour. The number one advantage of this job is that you get to drive around all day it is very peaceful. A hub drivers uniform consist of a red auto zone polo black slacks black socks and shoes a name badge and a back support brace.so in my opinion this is why an auto zone hub driver would be the best dream job for a convicted felon. – Shalimar, FL

Taxi Driver

The best dream job for a convicted felon is becoming a taxi driver. It is not much but if you are a cab driver, no one will ask whether you used to be a felon or not. Nobody will even have the idea that you are a felon before regardless of the reason why you were in jail before. Also, inside your cab, you can be the guy you want to be without fearing that other people will get into you. Aside from the privacy that the job provides, it can also give you a handsome earning especially if oyu know the ins and outs of the city and the different roads and shortcuts. – Portland

Defence Attorney

The best dream job for a convicted felon could be a defence attorney. This would provide the felon the opportunity to assist other people who have been in a similar situation, and ensure they are treated fairly. The felon may be able to draw on their previous experience of the justice system to provide helpful and useful advice for the defendant. The felon may wish to contribute positively to society after a time in prison, or bring some good out of their experience in jail. It is possible that their clients would trust them more than a regular lawyer, as they would have direct experience of being tried and of being sentenced. – Uxbridge, GBR

Fast Food Worker

The best dream job for a convicted felon is to work at a fast food restaurant.  Regardless of the perception that our society has about these types of jobs, they can be a good jump start to something with more of a redeeming quality in the work force.  These jobs force the felons to show some sort of basic responsibility in order to keep the job.  They have to be on time, have a clean uniform, and perform with constant evaluation from management.  If the former felon can perform these basic responsibilities, and learn about how a business is supposed to be run, there is a possibility that they could earn a promotion and begin earning some decent money.  Most places do not want to give these former felons a chance, but fast food restaurants are always looking for good people that are looking for a second chance. – Modesto, CA

Boss of Casino

The best dream job for a convicted felon would be the boss of a casino.  They would hold a lot of power which I think would appeal to them.  Ideally, they wouldn’t have to work that much because the workers under them would handle the majority of the work.  They would be allowed to participate in a profession that would be illegal in most places but legal there.  Additionally, they would be able to be around people of a similar background.  They probably would prefer this atmosphere over any other potential job offer.  For the following reasons, this is why I believe a convicted felon would want to work as the Boss of a Casino. – Baton Rouge, LA

 

Childhood Dream Jobs – Dream Summer Jobs for Teenagers – Video Games Tester

Childhood Dream Jobs  – Dream Summer Jobs for Teenagers – Video Games Tester

 

Caddy

As a caddy, you will carry golf clubs, accompany the golfer, and clean his clubs. Every so often when you get on the greens, you will have to read the greens and advise the golfer how to putt the ball into the whole. It’s a well-paying job for only a few hours worth of work. – USA

Video game tester is the best dream job for a teenager

The best dream job for a teenager…would be a video game tester. Because teens play video games all day. Even when they are in school you will find that some will take  their hand held video games with them. So since they are playing games all day anyways why not let them get paid for it.  They will also be happy with their jobs and preform at their best because it is something they love doing. Parents won’t get as mad because at least it is something productive yet fun that their kids are doing instead of wasting their lives away. – Savannah, GA

celebrity to an assistant

The best job for a teenager, and even more specifically a teenage girl, would be to be the assistant to a celebrity. Teenagers are usually really into pop culture, and spending the day with a celebrity would be ideal. Shopping for them, doing their errands, seeing the inside of their beautiful homes, traveling with them, riding in their expensive cars, and know the inside gossip … definitely a dream come true for a teenager. Another perk would be if the pay was especially good. Teenagers thrive on a fast-paced lifestyle which is surely what would be offered working for a celebrity.

Videogame Tester

The best dream job for a teenager would be videogame tester.  Most teenagers favorite pastime is to lay back on a couch and play videogames for hours.  I know when I was that age that was my favorite thing, as well as all my best friends.  If someone would have offered to pay me for it I would have been thrilled.  During the teenage years, I think their mind is much more fitted to participate in mindless things.  When people get older, they are more likely to feel a sense of guilt from playing repetitive videogames all day.  Older people have greater responsibilities as well so they may not have the time.  However, most teenagers have very few responsibilities so they are perfectly suited to sit and play videogames for hours without feeling any kind of remorse.  That is why I think their dream job would be a videogame tester. Baton Rouge, LA

Games Tester

The best dream job for a teenager is being able to be a Games Tester. The reason for this is many teenagers spend most of their days playing games, being a game tester is essentially playing a game multiple times to find out if there is any problems with it. And they get to do this with multiple games that they wouldn’t usually play. This also means they get to play the game for free. Doing this kind of job it would be best to earn above minimum wage, so perhaps £16,000 a year at least. This is because it is quite a relaxed job and an enjoyable one. – Milton Keynes, GBR

Head Shop Sales Associate

Teenagers love being wild. Teenagers love being crazy. Right? Well how much more wild and crazy can a job be than working and selling marijuana smoking devices! Teenagers nowadays are getting more and more entranced with the unique and special herb, marijuana. They are becoming exposed to it at an earlier age. With less  absurd pressure in the media about abstaining from a medicinal herb, teenagers are realizing that marijuana is not that path towards poverty and unemployment. But rather a great career opportunity with many learning experiences with customer service and business management. – Salem, MA

 

pizza delivery

The best dream job for a teenager is a pizza delivery person.  This job allows you to do some of the most important things teens need.  You get to drive all around and listen to music.  You also get to eat pizza whenever you want.  Free food and driving are always a good combo.  The pay is great too.  Not only do you get your base pay from the pizza place, you also get tips.  Depending on how good(fast) you are, you  could be earning a pretty penny.  All of this while not being stuck behind a counter somewhere or ringing people up over and over again at some supermarket. -USA

 

Lifeguard

One of the best position I could imagine as a young teenager would be a lifeguard at either a pool or the beach. The required training could afford a lot of vital skills, and the subsequent work would be rewarding and would not require being cooped up in a business or restaurant. Additionally, lifeguards often receive the most work during the summer, when many teens do not have to worry about school conflicting with their hours. An ideal payment for this job would be about 9$/hour. – USA

 

 

Top Worst Interview Questions – Worst Interview Situations

Top Worst Interview Questions – Worst Interview Situations

 

The worst interview questions are always the ones you are never prepared for.  I once had an interview lined up for a job that I really wanted.  I spent two days preparing myself for the interview by coming up with probably questions that would be asked and memorized responses that I would answer with.  I am a college graduate, and I used examples from my academic past to embellish these pre-determined answers.  When it came time for the interview, I felt completely sure of myself and was ready to snag the job.  Much to my dismay, the questions were absolutely nothing like the ones that I prepared myself for.  The interviewer asked mostly questions about customer service experience, and wanted me to give examples based around customer service.  I was so flustered with this curveball situation that my mind went completely blank.  Even though I spent a lot of time preparing myself, it was undoubtably the worst interview I ever sat through.  The worst part was the fact that I have extensive customer service experience, and I truly could have nailed the interview if I had simply focused on that. – Vancouver, VA

 

Mental health Case Manager

The worst interview questions that might be asked are always a concern when looking for a job. Applying for a job is a stressful experience.  A Resume isn’t just a mechanical but an emotional task of reviewing your achievements, failures and confronting your dreams.  A Mental Health Professional, I applied for a position with a non profit organization providing socialization and case management to those suffering from a brain disorder.  As 88% of Americans do imbibe in alcoholic bevies it is sure many of those needing a shower, food, companionship, and case management could be facing alcohol or drug issues.  This job, Federally Funded, was underpaid at only $18,000. The position was underemployment me. The job interview proceeded as most do with simple questions regarding my education and last job.  More difficult questions posed no real issue.  And then the very last question was posed by the interviewing panel.  “How do you feel about supervising the homeless clients using the shower facilities?”I explained it was no problem.  That I could well supervise keeping towels, clean clothes, and hygiene products available.  That I would carefully monitor cleanliness  and safety issues.  I was looked at strangely and then the panel shared strange looks.  The leader asked “Would I be willing to open the door of the shower in use every 15 minutes to check…?”  No I replied.  No that is a violation of the client’s right to privacy.  I did not get the job for I would not shower peep on men and women.  That was the worst question at a job interview I have been asked in my more than forty years as a mental health professional – Nogales, AZ

 

Restaurant Manager

The worst interview questions I have ever encountered have been asked by the people that I have interviewed for front counter customer service help in a fast food chain. Popular fast food restaurants take a lot of applications. I always had anywhere from 5 to 10 interviews to complete during the week. The people I interviewed often had no prior work experience and were teenagers.  In one interview I was asked if we could order skirts as part of the uniform. The girl I was interviewing needed to wear a skirt as it was part of her religious practices. I told her it was no problem.  She then asked me “are you sure that you can get me skirts? I have worked for other places that didn’t have skirts as a uniform and my family will sue you if you don’t have one for me.” Next interview, please! Another young person I interviewed brought her baby to the interview. She asked me “is it okay if I bring the baby to work when I cannot get a babysitter? I can sit him in a high chair in the lobby.” Absolutely not. Next interview, please! The last interview question that still amazes me is “do we get our food for free? I need to know because my friends will hang out while I work and I promised to feed them.” No free food and no more interviews, please! – Greenfield, VA

 

Environmental Technician

The worst interview questions I ever had to answer were pertaining to what I feel are my biggest character flaws. Immediately, I got uncomfortable because that is a very difficult question to answer. Obviously, nobody is perfect but at the same time nobody wants to admit that. On top of that, I was worried that whatever I said would not be good enough which is very ironic considering the answer requires something negative. They could definitely see that I was getting nervous so I had to come up with something quick. To buy a few extra minutes I stauled with a joke about how it was so hard to find any imperfections to my superhuman work ethic. And then it came to me. To this day, I am very impressed with my reponse. I said that I was a perfectionist and I could not simply settle on something that I did not feel I put 100 percent of my ability in to. While most of the time this is a good quality because the time I take reflects in my work, it can also be a disadvantage if the job needs to be done very quickly. However, I made it clear that I am aware of this and have developed techniques and stradegies that I use that allow me to get the job done in an efficient, timely manner while not compensating for the quality. I have found an even keel. Another thing that got me a little nervous was when I was asked what I have to offer that would be beneficial to the company. Worried about sounding conceited, I didn’t want to oversell myself but then I realized that that was the purpose of my being there. After I came to terms with that, the rest was cake. Other than that, I was pretty confident during the interview. I even got the job. Newburgh, NY

Sales Associate

The worst interview questions begin with  the phrase “Tell me about a time when.” Tell me about a time when you dealt with a difficult customer. Tell me about a time when you handled a situation well. The problem is, I’ve prepared my strengths and weaknesses beforehand. I’ve prepared a brief synopsis of my work history. But it’s hard to answer these questions on the spot. I never know what sorts of “times” or situations the employer will want to ask me about, making it difficult to prepare. I usually end up fumbling around for an answer and not getting hired. The worst was when I applied as a seasonal sales associate at a bookstore chain. They wanted me to tell them about times when I did lots of things and I could feel myself being awful. – Seattle, WA

 

 

 

5 Top Best Dream Jobs for Pregnant Women, Product Tester, Daycare Manager, Home Based Business

 

Daycare Manager

The best dream job for a pregnant woman would be managing a daycare center. In this job, the woman would gain experience and knowledge in dealing with and handling children at different ages, stages in development, and needs.  This would help the woman to prepare for the birth of her own child.  In addition, the stress on the pregnant woman would be lower in managing the daycare because she wouldn’t have to constantly be in contact with the kids and their problems.  Instead, she would be in charge of making sure the kids are in the appropriate rooms with the necessary supervision, as well as other duties that don’t involve a lot of exertion or stress. – Lexington, NY

Do Little Receptionist

The best dream job for a pregnant woman would be in a nice climate controlled  office. She would be in charge over the other employees. Mainly just answer the phone. Other office workers would take care of filing, dictation, and interviews. Her coffee with cream would be brought to her each morning with a nice bagel and cream cheese or a sweet roll. Life is sweet! – Locust, NY

 

At Home Product Tester

The best dream job for a pregnant woman is testing out items that involve the main rooms of her home that she would be using while growing her bundle of joy. Those rooms would be the bedroom, bathroom, and living room/family room. Items such as pillows, mattresses, mattress pads, sheets, eye masks, lotions, clothing geared towards expecting mothers, soaps, blankets, foods [because of course she has to eat at some point during the day],and any items that would be beneficial to her health and well-being through out her days of pregnancy and beyond. Her job should be fun and have the benefit more loose time restraints on getting her opinion to the companies but with and good amount of pay to help offset her future personal expenses. It should be something that allows time for relaxation but keep her time occupied enough so that she is not bored through out the rest of her day. Wheaton, IL

 

Work From Home Data Entry

The best dream job for a pregnant woman would be a job on-line. A pregnant women should be allowed to work at her own pace, from home, on the couch with her feet up. Data entry jobs on the computer would allow for pregnant women to work from a home office with a bathroom right nearby at all times. The ability to work for a while and then change positions or get up and take a walk is important. Also, pregnant women are more productive when they get to take a nap in the middle of the day. Productivity for the company would increase while allowing the pregnant woman to work in comfort. This would be the perfect job for any pregnant woman. – USA

 

Sole Proprietor for Home based business

Being pregnant, means being more tired than usual and needing to take care of yourself and baby.  So, running your own business from home as a sole proprietor takes care of income and well-being.  You can control your work hours, rest when you need to and be your own boss.  Working as a sole proprietor also means you will not be required to manage others or spend countless hours trouble-shooting regarding employee problems.  The key to being successful is choosing what you know.  If you worked for a recruiting company, open your own recruiting company from home.  Maybe you hand make custom scarves or t-shirts.  Be sure you’re qualified and the start-up time to get going will be almost non-existent.  Call everyone you know and tell them what you’re doing.  Design a simple website and enjoy being at home. – Aliso Viejo, CA

 

Worst Sample Resignation Letters Ever? Office Secretary, Rural Mail Carrier

Worst Sample Resignation Letters Ever? Office Secretary, Rural Mail Carrier

 

Rural Mail Carrier

I will like to offer my resignation for the post of rural mail carrier.  I am tired of citizens along county road 409 using my mail truck for target practice.  At first I was able to take it in stride as just one of those parts of the job you have to deal with.  However, as the number of appendages I lose starts to add up, I question what I will have left to enjoy retirement with- I’d like to spend my later years relaxing, fishing, and birdwatching…. these will be difficult hobbies to enjoy with no arms or eyes.  As much as I liked being a member of your mail delivery team, I’ve decided to take up a safer vocation as a Hollywood stunt man.  Sincerely,  Walter Q. Hardworker – Tacoma, WA

Office Secretary

I will like to offer my resignation for the post of office secretary due to my boss constantly complaining at what I do, or as he sees it, what I don’t do. All of the things he has accused me of not doing have been done in plenty of time before this. He also complains that I take too long on my breaks. I feel this is completely wrong, as i only take 50 minutes of my 1 hour break. He is out to constantly put me down and make me feel like dirt. I won’t have this any longer and I refuse to work for him any longer. – Oxford, GBR

Frankly,  Otter McGrubbin – Austin, TX

I Can’t Find a Job What Do I Do: Claim Income Benefits?

i can t find a job what do i do:  Claim Income Benefits?

Since I was let go from my job two months ago, I can’t find a job and wondering what I can do.  I was let go due to an illness.  I have tried to claim income benefits with the unemployment commission, but was turned down because I am not able to look for work.  So, I am forced to try to find a job that I allows me to work from home.  There are a lot of them out there, but finding a good and legitimate one is proving to be quite difficult. I have a few websites that I go to everyday in hopes that there is a good job lead out there.

 

Since I can’t find a job and am not eligible to claim income benefits, my life has become a bit harder.  I am unable to pay bills and am one of the millions of uninsured Americans out there.  So, on top of a late mortgage payment, I owe my doctors thousands of dollars. I try to stay as positive as I can.  Some days I just want to lie in bed and cry.  Some days I have to stay in bed because of my illness.  With each day comes a new hardship, but I continue on and stay hopeful.

Depressed Because I Can’t Find a Job: Is it My Fault?

depressed because i can t find a job: Is it My Fault?

I have been out of work for two months now.  I often feel like it is my fault.  Deep down, I know that it isn’t.  I was a contractor at my previous job.  Being a contractor is risky, but I have been doing it for eleven years and have never been laid off.  Before I was laid off, I was out on short term disability due to an illness that came on suddenly. I was unable to work in their office but was able to work from home.  Once I told them that, they laid me off. I have been severely depressed because I can’t find a job that I can do from home.

Even though I know the illness and being let go from my job is not my fault, I am still depressed because I can’t find a job.  Looking for legitimate work at home jobs is difficult and takes a lot of time and patience.  The jobs that are available out there pay very little and it takes a long time to actually make any money.   With the illness that I have, I can only spend a certain amount of time on the computer without getting sick, which makes it even harder.  I still have hope that I can find something and continue to look everyday.

At times, others make you feel inadequate suggesting that you hadn’t tried enough to find work. You can’t really blame them because they often mean well.

What if Selling a Sample Letter Declining a Job Offer is Immoral?

What if Selling a Sample Letter Declining a Job Offer is Immoral?

 

What if selling a sample letter declining a job offer is immoral?  What is immoral – the sample letter itself, or the selling of it?  Let’s look at the sample letter first.  How can a sample letter declining a job offer be immoral?  Easy – just include plenty of pictures of your naked body printed on the letter.  Someone is bound to think the photos alone will make the letter immoral.  You lots of four letter words.  Make suggestive statements such as “perhaps if you have sex with me or my spouse I’ll reconsider the job offer”.  There are plenty of ways to make anything written immoral, and if you want a sample letter declining a job offer that you write and want to sell that is also an immoral letter, just make sure you include plenty of immoral thoughts and comments interspersed throughout the letter.

On the other hand, if you are asking is it immoral to sell a sample letter declining a job offer, my question would be why are you asking this?  Selling any sample letters is obviously immoral – you are profiting off some else’s stupidity.  The person who buys said sample letter is stupid for needing to use one.  This is obvious, because if the person were not stupid, the person wouldn’t need a sample letter declining a job offer.  The person could write it him or herself.  Let’s say the person isn’t stupid – just harried and hurried.  In that case, he or she might be willing to pay you for a sample letter declining a job offer, especially if this person is busy declining several job offers.  In that case, you are helping someone, so that can’t be immoral.

What if a Sample Letter After an Interview Cost $100?

What if a Sample Letter After an Interview Cost $100?

 

If a sample letter after an interview cost one hundred dollars, you might want to reconsider using a sample letter.  Write an original after interview letter.  Of course, I have no idea what you would need a sample letter after an interview for, unless you need a letter after a job interview to either, in writing, convince your potential employer that he’s hiring the right person, or perhaps a letter of recommendation from a former employer or friend or financial reference is needed after your job interview to prove that you are who you claim to be.  I’m assuming you are claiming to be reputable, honest, trustworthy, and all that goes in to making a great boy scout.  Or girl scout.

It all depends on what the sample letter after an interview that cost one hundred dollars is for.  If it’s for any of these above reasons listed, skip the sample letter that costs you money and get an original one.  Or better yet, find one that costs nothing.  You know, free, as in over the internet.  Just make sure words are spelled correctly and the grammar doesn’t stink.  Then, whatever you need the sample letter after an interview for will not cost you one hundred dollars.  It will be free.  Which is just the right price to pay when you need a job and have no money.

Job in a Bank After a Felony Conviction: Can You Be a Cashier?

Job in a Bank After a Felony Conviction:  Can You Be a Cashier?

 

You’ve been convicted of a felony in the past and possibly served a jail term, or at least, a few hours a la Lindsay Lohan in jail and spent the rest of your probation doing hundreds of hours of community service.  Maybe you even wore an ankle monitor.  Finally, you’re free – from jail, community service, and that blasted ankle monitor.  The only thing you aren’t free from is your felony conviction.  That is not the sort of thing that can be expunged from one’s permanent record.  Now, you’re applying for a job in a bank after your felony conviction.  Can you be a cashier?  It depends.

If your felony conviction was for armed robbery, or counterfeiting, or money laundering, or running  a “racket”  the answer is most likely “no”.  The same holds true if your felony conviction was based on embezzling thousands or tens of thousands of dollars from bank accounts at the bank where you used to work, until you were caught and landed in jail.  Again, if your conviction was based on impersonating a bank official, chances are you cannot be a cashier in a bank.  If you were convicted of a felony because you were running drugs and not making a profit, or laundering money, I don’t see why you can’t be a cashier and get a job in a bank after your felony conviction!  More than likely, though, a felony conviction for any reason means you cannot get a job in a bank afterwards, especially as a cashier.  Perhaps you could start as a janitor and clean toilets.  I hear there will be an opening once Lindsay is finished her morgue community service.
