can you be denied a job due to a bankruptcy?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

Answer 2

Yes, you can be denied. Equal Opportunity does not cover credit issues. You cannot be discriminated against in the hiring process based upon the 'covered classes' of applicants.

Sorry to inform you that credit history is not a covered class.

Answer 3

Sure.
Jobs are not a right. The employer has the responsibility to make sure that he hires people who will do the job. If the job entails money, or forethought, or any of a number of other characteristics relating to fiscal responsibility, he would be remiss if he were to hire a bankrupt.

Answer 4

Sure they can.

Credit reports are like report cards when we were in school only rather then showing how good or bad we are doing in our studies, they show how good or bad we are doing in the management of our debts.

Now, since people are creatures of habit and tend to make the same mistakes more then once, if you have not been responsible with your debts why would a potential employer think that you would be responsible with your professional life?

Answer 5

Employers have the right to make some hiring decisions based on credit information; yes.

depends on the job and if the company runs a credit check, as some companies do.

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

yes, depending on the type of job that it is

Answer 10

I don't see why they would, unless you're trying to be a banker of some kind.
