    I recently graduated from 160 Driving Academy and I am finding it hard to find a job. I have a felony record in the past, my last one I was convicted in 2023 for a theft but I am not on probation or parole. I have applied to allot of the major second chance company but keep being denied. I am in Indianapolis, Indiana. Any ideas? Please?

    We'll find something for you.
    Did you already apply with Western Express?

    You'll have to do more than phone calls. Phone calls won't work.
    Submit, at least, the short app. from each website.
    Follow up with a phone call in 2 or 3 days and say, "I'm checking on my driving job application."

    Main problem is it’s a recent felony. A lot of places want to see several years since the last conviction. Best of Luck
