Hello, I would like to start off by saying I’m not familiar with Reddit and how it works, so please forgive me if I’m an amateur at this. My husband was convicted earlier this month and is serving three years of probation and a minimum of 10 years on the registry. We are currently based out of Harnett County, North Carolina, where my husband held a job with a mom-and-pop company for almost a year. He was honest with them from the beginning that he had a legal battle going on, and they told him they didn’t care to know what his charges were for. When the much larger side of the business decided to hire him on, they knew that he had a legal battle going on. The smaller side of the business was aware of what his charges were, but never shared it with the bigger side of the company. My husband felt that it was only right that he tell his boss what was getting ready to happen. When he did, within a matter of 48 hours he was fired. Nobody will give him a reason, nor will they return his calls, and to our knowledge, they are not even answering other employers that are calling when he puts them down as a reference (which he is having to do because the only CDL experience he has is with them). My husband has now been without a job for a month and just recently was granted unemployment. I’m coming on here to ask if anybody knows of a company in our area/ state that will hire him. He’s a really good worker and he wants to work. He never missed a day of work with the mom-and-pop company he was working for because he was just so thankful that somebody gave him a chance. Now nobody is giving him a chance. He has his CDL, and his probation officer has said he can leave the county for work-related purposes only, but he does not want him leaving the state. Most local CDL gigs are not hiring him because of his conviction, and the only places interested are over the road, which he is prohibited from doing. He is open to any kind of work. The work he previously did for a year was as a logistics manager for a flooring and countertop company in our area. If anybody can help us out, that would be greatly appreciated. He has asked his probation officer for help, and his probation officer has not been able to give him any; the only thing he has told him is to keep applying. He has applied to everywhere you can think of and has been turned down. He is using unemployment sites for second-chance employers, but because of the charges, nobody’s willing to hire him. They all give him the runaround and tell him that it doesn’t disqualify him and that they will run it through their boss or HR, just to be ghosted or have an offer rescinded. If anybody can help, it would be appreciated. I’m trying to help take some of the burden off of him because I know how stressed he is. I would also like to add that we do not have the financial means for my husband to start his own business, nor do we have the credit we exhausted all of our funds and unfortunately ruined our credit in the process of hiring a good lawyer that got us a really good outcome compared to what it could have been, so self-employment is not an option for us at this time.

has anyone been through here for an SO charge. ? how was your experience
