“#My credit has suffered – can I still get a good job?<\/strong>”

I fell behind on some bills and reduced my credit score. Is there any hope for me finding a professional job with my credit issues?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most companies conduct some type of background check on potential employees which may include a credit check, but that\u2019s less common than verifying identity, work history, education and criminal records. Thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers can\u2019t go checking your credit history behind your back and must have written consent. In some states, there are specific restrictions when it comes to using credit information for employment decisions. Employers don\u2019t see your credit score, just your credit history, and it\u2019s typically only relevant for financial positions (since if you can\u2019t be responsible for your own finances, how can they trust you with the company\u2019s?). Most app<\/a>licants can overcome a spotty credit history, which is not uncommon and exacerbated due to COVID, so I think most employers are sympathetic. Pull your own credit report so you can see what\u2019s there and correct any errors. Credit agencies also offer resources to get back to good financial health.<\/p>\n

My daughter has a degree in criminal justice and has been unable to get a job as a police officer in New York. She\u2019s not sure what to do with her degree. We\u2019ve suggested that she speak with a career coach. Would you be able to suggest someone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She has been \u201cunable\u201d to get a job as a police officer, or has decided she doesn\u2019t want to be one? I would completely understand given all that\u2019s going on. Career coaching comes from many resources. A simple Internet search for \u201cwhat can you do with a criminal justice degree\u201d will reveal many jobs that could be interesting to her, since there are a number of related careers that don\u2019t require a badge and a gun. She should also meet with the career development office of her college. Their services are usually available to alumni and typically have resources to help those early in their careers. Try old fashioned networking, too, with family and friends.<\/p>\n
