Absolutely, especially if you are trying to get, or hold a job in a financial field. I used to work as a credit authorizer, and I had to allow to a credit check in order to get hired, and had to allow continued credit checks in order to keep the job. That wasn't a problem for me, but a man that worked there was going through a divorce and it messed up his credit. He was fired. |

Yes it can. More companies now are asking for personal info and doing credit checks. Especially insurance companies and financial positions. A friend of mine lost out on a job with Churchill for this reason xx |

yep, cause employers relate you having poor personal money skills, to you having poor skills with their money.. |

I would think that if you had to maintain any sort of security clearance then, yes, it would. |

It can, especially if you are applying for a job that involves handling any kind of money. After my divorce, my credit got pretty messed up - single mom trying to make ends meet, blah blah blah... Well, I am an accountant and I was scared to death that my credit score would have an impact on the perfect job for me. I guess I got lucky and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was and I got the job. The company that is looking to potentially hire you wants to make sure that you handle your personal affairs (i.e. money & bill payments) well as it is an indicator as to how you would benefit their business. |

Yes, more and more employers are looking at ones credit score as an indication of how responsible the person is. |

IF the position requires bonding or fiduciary trust yes- check with your employer about an employee assistance program or look into consumer credit counseling.
www.FTC.gov has a consumer page on understanding credit. |

in some positions - yes - depends on the job
For example: you appy for a bank teller job but your credit shows you are not responsible with $ - so therefore you might not have the "qualifications" for the position based on your credit report - it's the new way of hiring :) Employers want people to be responsible in their private lives (at least to those skills that relate to the job) especially since the employer is paying you and has to be able to trust you |
