1) Who can post a
résumé
on your website? |
|
Any inmate who is currently incarcerated (and
due to be released within one year) and will be
seeking work upon release can place a
résumé. We
also post
résumés
for recently released
offenders. |
|
|
|
2) Is there a fee to place an inmate
résumé
on WriteAPrisoner.com? |
|
No. This service is completely free of charge. |
|
|
|
3) I am not an employer, but I’d like to
help. What can I do? |
|
We are in dire need of volunteers like you.
Please select several inmates from our site who
will soon be released. If the inmates plan to
reside in your area, you can contact potential
employers that you are already aware of. If they
plan to live elsewhere, you can use the Internet
to locate newspapers and classified sections
posted online. There are many online resources
for finding jobs. Since inmates do not have
access to the Internet, this is an excellent way
for you to help. You can find job openings that
describe the skills posted by inmates, and write
directly to the inmates to share the
information. Please be sure to clarify that you
are not the employer offering a job, but
that you are a Good Samaritan acting as the
inmate’s eyes and ears in the job search
process. You do not have to identify yourself to
the inmate if you choose not to. Two sites to
get you started are:
http://www.fortunesociety.org
http://classifieds.yahoo.com

4) Do you have a form I can print and send to
an inmate who wants to place a
résumé? |
|
In order to keep this service free of charge, we
prefer that
résumés
are
submitted online, either by an ex-offender
looking for employment or by a friend or family
member of individuals currently incarcerated. If you know an inmate who wants to place a
résumé,
please ask him/her to complete our
Inmate Résumé
Form
and return it directly
to you so that you may post the information
online. |

5) Do you have any tips for writing a good
résumé? |

Résumé
