I have unspent SO convictions which have been a barrier to finding work for a long time. My work coach suggests that, as well as continuing to make applications directly to employers in response to job ads, I look to build a network of helpful people who might be able to either make useful suggestions or recommend me to a suitable employer. Can anyone think of how I might being creating such a network? The nature of my convictions means many people are less than willing to assist, but my work coach thinks I ought to try. My background is in teaching, music and - more usefully - customer service advisor roles. Ideally, a remote working job would pass the test of approval by my police monitors.
