Show Notes

You see the signs everywhere. Now hiring, help wanted, sign-on bonus…it looks like everyone is trying to hire new employees. Except, of course, if you are actually looking for a job. Then you see that some of those offers are not for everyone. That’s especially true for job hunters who have a criminal record. But according to economist Jeffery Korzenik, looking at these so-called second chance hires is good for business.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll hear about second chance hiring of people with a record.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute finding a good mentor.
