She served about 6 months in jail and a mental institution, and is now out, clean and trying to get back on her feet.
She's a good person and realizes she fucked up. What is crazy is she's college educated, and had a great job (in sales). But she lost everything because of her stupidity.
She is having a difficult time finding a job obviously (been unemployed for over a year). So does anyone have any similar experiences with friends or family, and have any recommendations on how she should approach the job search (or know any companies that have criminal hiring programs)? No, she ain't doing porn lol, so don't suggest it (though she's hot lol).
Thanks in advance.

Depends on the state... but lots of them have departments such as "Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services". They classify addiction as a disease and can assist with job placement even with felony arrests. Also, I would assume she's either on parole or probation so where's the officer in this?
