Harley Blakeman, the CEO of Honest Jobs, knows first-hand the barriers those reentering society from incarceration face when trying to find a job that pays a living wage. Harley was a homeless teen before being arrested, convicted, and put in prison for 427 days. When he got out, he was determined to do better. He worked his way through college and graduated with honors, but then faced nearly 100 painful rejections for jobs that he was well qualified for. All because of his record. Finally, a company gave him a chance, and now Harley wants to help you find employment as well.
