What Employers Say You Should Do To Get A Job After Incarceration

1. Identify your skills and be able to demonstrate or show what you
   have done to develop your skills. (A list of books you read, classes
   you've taken, a sample of your work).
2. Show that you are interested in the company and in being a
   productive employee and a contributor. Research the company and let
   the interviewer know what you know about the company.
3. Don't Burn Bridges. Even if the first interview does yield the
   outcome you want, be polite, courteous, and grateful. Your last
   impression may get you a call back for a second interview in the future.
   
4. Show your commitment to your skill, craft and profession. Join an
   association or volunteer. For every person you meet through an
   association or through your volunteer efforts, the more exposure and
   visibility you have to jobs in your line of work
   
5. Be a Good Communicator. Regardless of what type of job you seek,
   even if it's a back office or far away from customers and clients, you
   still need to have good communication skills. It is your communication
   skills (reading, writing, listening, effective speaking) that will get
   you the job. Ask some one who will be honest with you, if your
   communication skills need to be improved? Then seek resources to help
   you improve your commuication skills, the resources you need may are
   likely available at your local library at no cost.
