Grit: How to Get a Job and Build a Career with a Criminal Record (Paperback) by Harley T Blakeman

A must read for anyone with a criminal record. Harley Blakeman had a very tough life from age fourteen to twenty-five - losing his father, battling drug addiction, homelessness, going to prison for selling drugs and trying to get a job and build a career with a criminal record. Now, Harley has a successful corporate business career and runs his own online business, ComebackCollective.org. In this first of its kind account, Harley Blakeman tells of his run with drug addiction and incarceration. After completing a 14-month prison sentence and moving to a new city, he faced the same painfully challenging task that millions of other Americans are facing today - getting a job and building a career with a felony record. Drawing from five years of powerful experience following his release, Harley has simplified the best methods for overcoming a criminal record. The examples and advice given can be easily understood and applied by anyone, regardless of skill set or education. He also provides sure-fire ways to get quick wins as well as long-term tried and true methods to grow your career.
