Mission Possible

When all that stands between you and employment is a background check that will uncover criminal history, substance abuse, or credit issues, you need a proven strategy to overcome a problematic past. Let’s face the fact: it will be hard, requiring extra work on your end. Together, with this workbook, you can and will overcome this challenge.

If you’re burdened by social, economic, and employment roadblocks, sometimes this will seem like a hopeless fight. Do NOT give up! Success can be yours. Learn how patience, persistence, realistic expectations, and a strong support system protects, promotes, and empowers you. Within these pages you’ll find straight-shooting advice, activities, examples, and—most importantly—truth.

Everyone needs to work and many of us need a second chance. Let us show you how to get both! How long are you willing to wait to get that second chance?
