My rent's 580/wk so I have to work full time to pay the bills if it's minimum wage.
I have 6 violent criminal charges. I pled not guilty to all as I'm innocent but until verdict in August it's stuck on my record. I have a bachelor's in design and incomplete nursing degree (I was not allowed to continue studying with violent charges police check is needed for placement.) I'm studying accounting online at TAFE I thought it might be easier to get into something that doesn't work with vulnerable people to increase my employability but clearly that's not the case.
I'm applying to a lot of call centre jobs but it seems like they're mostly banking call centre jobs hiring, all the recruiters tell me banks won't consider me with the record. I've been to several bank interviews with no luck.
The insurance places won't consider a criminal record either. I get to third round interviews and reference checks and then they reject me. I feel like I'm quite good at interviewing I got 2 warehouse jobs recently but after I injured my shoulder I can't do that anymore. I have precervical cancer and the extreme temperatures in the freezer warehouses wasn't something I could cope with long term. I spend hours everyday applying to jobs on seek and it's not unusual for me to pull an 8hr job application shift just for a week of interviews that go nowhere.
I'm getting my traffic controller ticket but I only saw about 6 traffic control jobs on seek. So I guess the plan is become homeless if I don't work this out. Need some advice from people who have a criminal record or are great at interviews.
