Your Financial Credit Matters
Before launching your career search, complete a financial credit check on yourself. It is a given that your background will be checked when you are being considered for a job in most industries. Some career seekers and changers do not take the time to consider how their financial credit history can be the determining factor in being chosen for a position. Take the time to research how your credit history is factored into the hiring process for your chosen industry.
If you have good to excellent credit, be consistent in your efforts to maintain your current rating. If you have room for improvement, investigate options that will direct you in improving your credit rating. The key to repairing your credit rating is being diligently focused in your efforts and realistic with the timeframe it will take you to accomplish your credit reform goals.
There are some companies that will give you the opportunity to explain the ‘why’ behind your credit history during the interview process. Other companies may direct you to reapply for the position after improving your credit rating over a designated duration of time. All other required qualifications associated with the position must still be verifiable when you reapply.
During your career search, many lessons are learned along the way. If your financial credit history becomes a lesson for you; embrace the lesson and revise your strategy. Remember, what is for you is yours. The right employment opportunity is in route to you!
