Unemployable...I don't have any words of wisdom except to say I'm praying for you. The only thing I've found in life is when a door closes another one (better) will open. Hang in there, don't give up.
The other option is...have you considered selling stuff on ebay...people make a fortune on that, you do it out of your garage. I bought a lot of stuff, like designer bed sheets that people bought at outlets and sold on ebay. Then it doesn't matter what the hell your record shows. I actually listed a broken camera on ebay, telling people it was broken,(cause I couldn't bring myself to throw it out, just seemed wasteful) and it sold for $40. Just a thought

That is the webpage for the Connecticut Human Rights Office. Unfortunately, if I read correctly there is only one instance in which you are protected from employment discrimination as a result of a criminal record, and that is with state emploment. So apply for a state job?

I went looking for the state public advocates office. You don't have one. Amazing.

I never thought about applying for a state job. Hmmm
Thank you I will do that.
