Ability To Be Hired

Hello all' I would like opinions on getting hired after the first year. My problem is my driving record has issues the last was almost 20 years ago. And I had a felony 8 years ago. I know it will be difficult if not impossible to get hired. So if a company will take a chance on me would other companies tend to over look my past issues after a year or two of experience or would it continue to be an issue?

Felonies will never totally stop being an issue but they get better the longer it's been since you were in trouble. Since you do have a felony background you will need to keep your safety record almost completely clean.

It's been 17 years since I had done prison time and with some places it can still be an issue. The problem never goes a way. So there are two things you can do to get companies to over look your background. 1) have a perfect or near perfect safety record. 2) Longivity. The longer you stay at a job the easier it is to get another one later.

Thanks. I appreciate you taking time to respond to my question.
