Supply chain jobs are in demand among employers. These are typically jobs in places like warehouses, distribution centers, ports, and railyards. If you’re looking for work and you have a criminal background, this is great news!

In May, a supply chain industry website reported the urgent need for new hires following the departure of many longtime workers, especially after the covid pandemic. This means supply chain companies nationwide are looking for help, and they’re offering higher wages and better benefits to attract new employees.

Some of these companies are also more willing than in years past to look beyond criminal records when considering applicants. If you’re willing to put in long hours and do some heavy lifting, and you’ve stayed out of trouble since returning from incarceration, there’s a good chance a supply chain company will hire you!

Before you apply, make sure you have your resume up-to-date. Even if you don’t have a work history, you can still make a great resume, using other aspects of your life, such as jobs you held while in prison. TalentNova is a free service that helps people who were incarcerated make a resume, so check it out!
