If you have been convicted of a felony, the tips listed below will increase your chances of being employed at FedEx. Importantly, you should have the necessary qualifications needed to apply for the vacant position when applying these tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Acquire skills and certifications<\/strong>. Being a felon is a disadvantage in many job application scenarios. To improve your value as an employee and give yourself an advantage, try to learn a skill relevant to the position you want to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, if a certification is needed for that position, endeavor to acquire it before applying to work at FedEx. For example, if you would like to work as a driver at FedEx, you will need a Commercial Driver\u2019s License(CDL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You should have a few references<\/strong>. Your references will attest to your character and trustworthiness. These references can be your previous employers, teachers, and even places where you volunteer in your spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Create a professional resume and cover letter<\/strong>. The documents should showcase your skills and experience. If you cannot write your own resume, you can pay to have it professionally written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Apply for jobs that are unrelated to the crime you committed<\/strong>. This is because you may be seen as a risky hire. If you were convicted for theft, apply to work as a customer service agent. Similarly, if you have a DUI or DWI charge, apply for jobs unrelated to driving. Individuals convicted of a sex or violence-related charges may not be considered for jobs that involve interacting with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.  Be honest about your conviction<\/strong>. During the interview, you will be asked about prior convictions and your criminal history. Be honest and remember that FedEx will run a background check. The chances of being denied the job will be higher if you are dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Think of yourself as a person of value and act in that manner<\/strong>. Try to be confident while still being respectful during the interview. If you have taken skill acquisition classes or self-improvement courses, highlight the fact. Explain why you will be a valuable employee at FedEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, during your interview explain your criminal history and convince the interviewer why you should be given a chance to work at FedEx. While you are trying to portray yourself as an individual of value, do not lie about your skills and abilities.
\nIf you are not confident, you can practice how to answer possible interview questions at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
