Riassunto

The title says it all, From Prison to Paycheck is a step-by-step guide written for job-seeking individuals who have a criminal past. This book outlines each step of the job hunting process, including how to create a strong resume with a limited work history and few marketable skills. The functional resume, which is rarely discussed in great detail in most career development books, has an entire chapter devoted to its use. Active readers who follow the “Your Turn” sections of the book will have constructed a resume by the end of the chapter. "From Prison to Paycheck" goes to great lengths to describe what an aggressive job search looks like, and warns readers of the traps job seeking ex-offenders most often fall victim to. Written with a no-nonsense approach, this book spells out every element of what to expect in an interview from handshake to good-bye, including commonly asked questions and examples of ways to discuss ones conviction. The cover letter is demystified as well in "From Prison to Paycheck" so that the reader can see its importance and discover what an employer expects to see when reading one. Although written for ex-offenders, this book is sure to enlighten anyone in need of job preparation skills.
