Ex-Offenders Need Seasoned Advice on How to Quickly Land a Lifeboat
JobEx-offenders face numerous challenges in making it on the outside.
First and foremost, they must quickly find a job and keep it in order to
support themselves in the free world. And that job often needs to be
close to home as well as near their parole or probation officer. For
many ex-offenders seeking their first job out, any job will do as long
as it provides them with sufficient income to survive. Put another way,
they need to quickly find a lifeboat job. A lifeboat job is one
individuals need to find NOW in order to keep themselves financially
afloat. It's essentially a survival job - not one that necessarily leads
to an exciting career or high wages. It's all about meeting the
necessities of life and becoming self-sufficient on the outside. Such
jobs are important steeping stones to a better life. Ex-offenders know
all too well the importance of lifeboat jobs. Being released from prison
or jail without money, a job, or family support, and facing immediate
housing, clothing, food, and transportation needs - as well as probation
and parole reporting requirements - they need to quickly land a job near
where they live. This book introduces the concept of the "30/30 Job

success: - Talent Intersecting Opportunity (TIO) Principle - Talent and
Geography (TAG) Principle - 30-Mile Placement Principle Filled with

resumes, and composing emails to leaving voicemail messages,
interviewing, and following up over a 30-day period, here is the book
that can make a big difference in the lives of ex-offenders who need a
