Just how important is your credit score when a background check is conducted???

I would think the criminal side of it would be more important to look at, but does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

criminal side I feel would be the most important sir.

As someone who gets to hire and fire people on occasion. I can tell you that the credit score is more like a meter for how reliable a person is likely to be, but it isn't a end all thing. For instance, if someone's credit score is excellent, it wouldn't have that much bearing in my mind as far as hiring a person. If however the credit score sucks big time, I may pause to find out why, only because of teh reliable aspects of teh person. If he or she has a good explaination as to why they have a foreclosure, 3 repoed cars, etc... I may stil hire them.

Ha.. Thats good advice... My excuse is student loans... I got no co-signor all through college so i have like 20k to my name... sucks..

What industry?

I'd overlook medical bills on a credit report, but nothing else. If you aren't responsible enough to have a credit card, I wouldn't want you working for me.

Not that I hire people.

Depends on what kind of job you are applying for. I think one's credit score would be more of a factor in trying to get an apartment than a job.

if the HR dude says 'we went with other candidates' and neg you, just tell them at that time or from day 1 when you meet that you were a victim of ID theft and have been working on cleaning it up for 2000 hours

Have u thought about a career in pizza delivery?

They don't do credit or criminal background.... as long as you got a car that runs and can get the pizza there hot.

Just ask ms, he's been doing it for 20 years. What a winner.
