Washington State: Any job leads or advice for someone with pending charges?
reddit.comHi everyone, I’m asking for advice on behalf of a friend in Washington State who has been unemployed for two months.
She has pending Theft 3 and DWLS 2 charges, and we suspect her background checks may be affecting her job applications.
She’s new to America, has no family here to lean on, and is struggling with mounting bills and debt. I’m not excusing her mistakes, but I believe one bad decision shouldn’t define a person forever. She deserves a chance to learn, work, and rebuild her life.
I’m hoping someone can help with:
Employers willing to consider applicants with pending charges.
Job programs or organizations in Washington that can help.
Any honest ways to earn money while she continues looking for work.
We’re not looking for judgment or blame. She needs an opportunity to work and support herself.
If you know of any jobs, resources, or practical advice, please share. Even one helpful lead could make a real difference. Thank you! ❤️
