The Ex-inmate's Complete Guide to Successful Employment

Book excerpt: THE EX-INMATE'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT is the first & only book to cover, step-by-step, the process of landing & keeping a job for the ex-felon. With dozens of work pages for the inmate--ex-inmate, written in large type in 8 1/2" x 11" format, with a unique "2/3 page copy & 1/3 page for notes" layout, this book is individualized for the inmate to learn from, write in, & reuse as a resource text while looking for employment & after achieving employment. Its 11 chapters begin with what the inmate can do to improve while in prison, how the inmate can begin preparation for the job search & interview before release, & what needs to be done when released. Two special chapters cover interview questions that focus on an inmate's incarceration ("Were You Ever in Prison?" & Other Related Questions) & an exhaustive listing of job-related assistance resources throughout the United States. The author, Errol Craig Sull, is uniquely qualified to write this book: a successful career counselor, seminar leader & writer, he also served two plus years in a state penitentiary. He has written articles about the prison experience, as well as lectured in prisons before inmates.
