What it does

Job Search With A Record is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Run a job search when you have a criminal record — where to apply, when and how to disclose, and how to turn the question into a short, confident answer instead of a dealbreaker. Use when asked how do I get a job with a felony, when do I tell an employer about my record, ban-the-box, or explain my conviction in an interview. Produces a target list of record-friendly employers and roles, a disclosure timing plan, a tight honest disclosure script (own it, pivot to now), answers to the background-check and gap…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Job search and resumes. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I get a job with a felony
  • Do I tell an employer about my record
  • Explain my conviction in an interview

Example prompts

  • “/job-search-with-a-record”

  1. Apply where you'll get a fair shot. Prioritize fair-chance employers, trades, and staffing agencies over places that auto-screen — effort…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Job Search With A Record loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 173 tokens; SKILL.md has 652 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~173
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Run a job search when you have a criminal record — where to apply, when and how to disclose, and how to turn the question into a short, confident answer instead of a dealbreaker. Use when asked how do I get a job with a felony, when do I tell an employer about my record, ban-the-box, or explain my conviction in an interview. Produces a target list of record-friendly employers and roles, a disclosure timing plan, a tight honest disclosure script (own it, pivot to now), answers to the background-check and gap questions, and the rights that protect you — so a record narrows the search without ending it. Not legal advice; points to reentry and legal-aid resources.

Job Search With a Record

A record makes the job search harder, not hopeless — the difference is strategy: applying where records are welcome, disclosing at the right moment in the right words, and having a short, owned answer ready before anyone asks. This builds that: a target list, a disclosure plan, the scripts, and the rights that protect you — so the conversation is about who you are now, not only what happened.

What This Skill Produces

  • A target list — employers and industries known to hire people with records (fair-chance employers, trades, logistics, food service, staffing agencies, second-chance programs), plus roles to prioritize
  • A disclosure timing plan — when to raise it (rarely on the application in ban-the-box areas; usually after an offer or when directly asked), so you're judged on fit first
  • A disclosure script — a short, honest, non-defensive answer: name it briefly, take responsibility, pivot fast to what changed and what you bring now
  • Answers to the hard questions — the background check, the employment gap, and "tell me about this" — prepared, calm, consistent
  • The rights that protect you — ban-the-box, EEOC guidance, and record-sealing/expungement as a parallel track (with a pointer to expungement-navigator)
  • A resource pointer — reentry programs, legal aid, and fair-chance job boards

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The situation — type of record, how long ago, whether it's sealed/expungeable (no need to over-share)
  • What you're looking for — target roles, industry, location
  • Where you are — region (ban-the-box and disclosure rules vary a lot)
  • Your strengths — skills, work history, anything from inside (training, certs, work assignments)

Framework: Fit First, Own It, Point Forward

  1. Apply where you'll get a fair shot. Prioritize fair-chance employers, trades, and staffing agencies over places that auto-screen — effort spent where records aren't a wall converts far better.
  2. Time the disclosure. Don't volunteer it on the application where the law lets you wait; let them want you first. Disclose after an offer or when directly and lawfully asked — never lie, never hide.
  3. Write the short script. Three beats: name it in a sentence, own it without excuses, pivot to what changed and what you do now. Practiced, it takes 20 seconds and defuses the fear.
  4. Prepare the adjacent questions. The gap, the background check, "walk me through this" — same calm, consistent story every time.
  5. Know your rights and run the parallel track. Ban-the-box and EEOC limits on how records are used; and pursue sealing/expungement in parallel so the record shrinks over time.

Output Format

Job search with a record: [roles] · [region]

Target list: [fair-chance employers · industries · staffing/second-chance programs · roles to prioritize]. Disclosure plan: [application: usually don't volunteer where lawful → after offer / when asked: disclose honestly]. Your script (≈20s): "[one-sentence own it] · [what changed] · [what I bring now]." Hard questions: [gap → answer] · [background check → answer] · ["tell me about this" → the script]. Your rights: [ban-the-box / EEOC use limits — region-specific] · parallel track: sealing/expungement. Resources: [fair-chance job boards · reentry programs · legal aid].

Not legal advice — record, disclosure, and ban-the-box rules vary by jurisdiction. Confirm specifics with a reentry program or legal aid.

Quality Checks

  • Targets fair-chance employers/roles, not a cold mass-apply
  • Times disclosure to protect a fair first look, without advising dishonesty
  • Produces a short, owned, forward-looking script
  • Prepares the gap and background-check questions
  • Names rights and the expungement parallel track; points to real help

Anti-Patterns

  • Advising anyone to lie or conceal — one discovered lie ends it.
  • Blasting applications at employers that auto-screen records.
  • A long, defensive explanation instead of a tight owned answer.
  • Disclosing too early where the law lets you wait for fit first.
  • Ignoring expungement as a parallel, record-shrinking track.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I get a job with a felony on my record?"
  • "When am I supposed to tell an employer about my conviction?"
  • "Help me explain my record in an interview without tanking it."
  • "What jobs actually hire people with records?"
  • "What are ban-the-box rules and how do they help me?"
