How to Find Work After an Arrest

Some people have a more difficult time than others finding work. Formerly incarcerated individuals are considered to be one of those groups. Fortunately, a growing number of initiatives and regulations are attempting to reduce the stigma people who were incarcerated may face during their job searches. Dr. Genevieve Rimer, who is the director of inclusive hiring at the Center for Employment Opportunities, is one of the people trying to move that needle. In addition to launching a new LinkedIn Learning course, Dr. Rimer recently sat down with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman to discuss how people can find work after incarceration.  BONUS: Dr. Rimer answered listener questions on a recent episode of #GetHired Live.
