FedEx Ground
Rejected for Package Handler Job Despite Changed Life Since 2002

I applied for your package handler position in Carol Stream. I took the dock tour, filled out the application, and was not hired for some unknown reason. I have not been convicted of a felony since 02, which is over the 7-year period most companies look at. I have nothing pertaining to theft, arson, any violent crimes, etc. I just made some mistakes by selling drugs to survive.

I have been self-employed pretty much for 8 years remodeling homes. I have been married for 8 years and have totally changed my life around since 2002. But the world's companies do not want people who have changed to good, honest, hard-working people. They want people who have been good all their lives and have never gotten into trouble. Well, good luck, because those people probably already have good jobs, and do not want to load trucks all day, every day, or believe they are too good to do that kind of work, which is why your company needs the help it does.

Which is more important, getting the long-term help you seek, or struggling with whether you have enough help? If you give more people the opportunity, you will see who wants to work and who does not. Thank you very much for your time.
