Many people on the registry struggle with finding meaningful employment and moving up in their careers. A conviction can often feel like a huge barrier to finding and keeping a good job. 

We hope you'll join us on July 22, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom for a panel discussion on Job Hunting and Advancing Your Career After a Conviction. 

Executive Director Adele Nicholas will moderate a panel discussion with panelists Marty Harris and Jonathan Ksiazek, experienced employment law attorneys who will discuss best practices and practical advice for job hunting when you have a felony conviction in your background, including: 

• how, when, and whether to disclose a conviction during the interview process;
• What legal protections address employment discrimination based on past convictions;
• How the recently enacted amendments to the Illinois Human Rights Act protect you in during the hiring process.

The seminar is free. Please sign up below so we know how many attendees to expect.
