I do not know of any jobs that require you to have a felony conviction.
Try TWC.

Jobs

Are you on probation, if so your probation officer should be able to provide you with a list of local companies that are willing to hire a convicted felon.

There is no such thing as a list of jobs for people who have felonies. It's up to the individual employer whether to hire a felon or not.

You may also want to check with relatives and friends that know you well and see if they can get you a job at their place of employment and/or be your reference for another place. Landing that first job will be the hardest but if you're diligent and honest someone should give you a chance. Keep trying and good luck!

dbc, no such list exists. It's up to each individual employer. Plus "felony" covers a LOT of legal territory. How much of a problem your prior conviction will pose depends considerably upon the type of crime of which you were convicted* and how recently.

Many employers are understandably leery of applicants who were convicted of violent crimes and crimes involving drugs, especially manufacturing or selling.
