Prisoner Resume

How to write a resume for someone that has been in jail and just released?

Outline their job experience to-date. Personally, I would avoid the subject until asked (legally he/she may need to state jail time - check with an attorney).

Assuming you can postpone mention of jail until the interview process, it should still be addressed. On any job application when brought in for an interview (job applications are common for all positions, including executive level jobs), the candidate will need to outline any previous time in jail. At this point in the process, he/she will already be in the interview stage and the jail time can be verbally addressed during the interview (far better than in writing). As for free resume examples, browse through the resume examples section of Resume-Help (link below). If you are still uneasy, you may consider a professional service.
