Help! I need to write some job applications for an ex-con?

We Answered:

He needs to start at the bottom and prove himself to be trustworthy and dependable. Any entry level job will do. He should finish his education and get a GED. He needs to show up clean, properly attired, sober, rested and anxious to do a good job. He will need to do this every work day, including Mondays and the day after pay day.

An application letter should be just plain talk. He should be straightforward and explain his situation. The tone should be honest and contrite. Finally, it should end with great thanks for taking the time, blah, blah, blah and express that he is not expecting much nor feel he deserves much but is just seeking a opportunity to prove himself to be a useful member of society.
