Simply being unemployed for an extended period of time is enough to exclude you from many jobs. Being a felon and having done jail time excludes you even more severely.

- astrodust 10y agoThat can work for a case of simple unemployment if you can make it sound plausible, but if you can't come up with a single client reference from that period of time you could be pooched. This is also complicated by the fact that you may have no option to admit that you're a felon and served time since they may have your police report on their desk. We're living in an era where having nothing more than an arrest record, even if no charges were ever filed, is grounds for suspicion. It doesn't even matter if you were someone walking their dog and rounded up by the police in some kind of illegal kettling, you have a record.
