Encourage him to get involved in a 12 step program or a Celebrate Recovery program. Many local churches offer these CR programs and they often have insider employer contacts to get entry level jobs for folks and help rebuild their lives.
Reply:Felony charges for CCW AND Dom Viol is very serious for any positions that has a background check. Especially if the charges are recent. Your friend may have had a bad day when he got charged with this, but many employers can not risk someone who breaks CCW laws and has dom viol. It's too risky and it probably goes against some company hiring practices. This is to keep current employees safe, I would hate to have someone work for me who I know concealed carry.





Your friend will probably have to settle for lower paying positions at retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Costco or other places that don't require criminal background checks.





This is the just the awful truth of the labor market
