[line]The Ex-Offender’s Job Hunting Guide: 10 Steps to a New Life in the Work World – This book saved me. I got a copy of it when I was in a reentry program from a family member. It is so amazingly useful for people that are nearing their release. It prepares a person with a criminal record for what they’re going to have to face in a job search. I highly recommend this book.
