It would be a downer. People want to be uplifted and read stories about people's successes. My life isn't there yet.
> "what HR is doing to potential employees is even more unethical"
This comes back to culture fit. If my presence would make anyone uncomfortable, simply because of my past, then it's not a good fit for either them or me. Plain and simple.

Which is why I'm mentioning my availability and services in hopes of getting more work for when his runs out.
- Kagerjay 8y agoTrue you make good points. I still think you should write something about your incarceration though on your blog. Your whole blog just seems to entirely ignore it. I think it would be best to directly address the concerns potential employers and prospects might have on things they find in a google search. You would probably get more prospects sympathsizing to your situation. It might seem like a downer, but the downer stories shows you've learned from your past mistake as well. That you can accept criticism thrown your way and openly accept events that transpired in your life good or bad. This can only be seen as a positive trait about you. Dont let people draw assumptions about you, let your stories speak for themselves. I wish you the best on your journey. You dont have it easy but im sure you will figure something out
