Employment
What does it take to gain employment in the current job market after serving prison time?  Effective strategies include honesty, strategic job searching, computer skills and effective interviewing.  The job world has changed substantially in the past years and continues to do so.  Dropping off a paper resume is no longer the best way to get an interview.  The ability to upload a word processed resume onto a potential employer's web site or an employment search engine is essential in today's employment world.
