Bad credit could affect employment chances April 25, 2006

For some, bad credit could affect your chance of getting the job, depending on the nature of the job. Employers are increasingly checking credit reports according to a recent survey by the Society of Human Resource Management, 35% in 2004 up from 19% in 1996 according to Laura Morsch of CareerBuilders.com.

The chance your credit will be checked depends on whether you handle money in the position. Senior and middle level executives are more likely to have a credit check since they are in a fiduciary position with the company. So what does your credit report tell your future employer? Annual credit reports are now free through the Federal Trade Commission’s website. The FTC began rolling out the free annual credit reports last year.

To access your free credit report, visit the FTC’s websites at www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. Each of the nation’s consumer reporting companies- Equifax, Experian, and Transunion – are required to provide you with a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months.

fuck this shit, this is horse shit. they think cause you got bad credit you can get bribed or your gonna steal. Its stereotype, they think cause I got bad credit I dont have morals. (excuse my french lol) In my opinion it is prejudice. These assholes dont understand that times are hard. I didnt get bad credit because I didn’t work, my job as a marketing rep had started losing stability and hours got cut till ultimatley i got laid off. I got a family to feed, I will not let them starve because I gotta pay my cable or cell phone bill! FUCK THAT SHIT!
