Convicted felons are always hopeful that there would be life after prison. Unfortunately, many of them are rudely awaken from their dream of a new life since businesses are hesitant to employ them.
I can’t blame those businesses though. Those who carry a criminal record under their name sometimes do seem to be still capable of committing another felony. However, we would be doing more harm to society if we let these people return to their former life of crime due to unemployment.
Whenever a person who carries a criminal record approaches you for a job, don’t dismiss him outright. Check his resume and talk to him. You could also go the extra mile by conducting a background check on him to see if he really has changed for the better.
If your investigation has shown that he has conducted himself in a very respectable manner after having spent some time in jail, or after doing community service, then seriously consider him for the vacant position in your business. Everybody deserves a second chance.
