Don't assume the reason you are not hearing back from potential employers is because you have a record. They may not even know you have a record yet. Do not take it personally! The main complaint I hear from all job seekers is that they apply and never hear back from the company.
One of the best things you can do for yourself is to maintain a positive attitude. As soon as a negative thought pops into your head you need to stop it dead in its tracks. Remind yourself of your value, your talent, and all you have to offer. Never give up!
Make sure you are using every resource at your disposal to find work. Go to your local job center, attend networking meetings, conduct informational interviews, go to job fairs, apply in person, apply online, improve your computer skills, get training and education, find where the financial resources are... There is a lot of help out there for you if you just go out and find it!
Persistence will pay off. Never give up!
