Successful re-entry is especially difficult for those who have lost everything, including hope and optimism.

What they most need are good jobs that pay living wages. So what should ex-offenders do in order to land a good job? Where should they go? What strategies work best for them?

Special chapters focus on job survival, advancement, and conquering the digital workplace. Rich in insights and filled with practical examples, exercises, self-tests, and
