How can I find a job with bad credit?

Category: Other

John SmithJohn Smith


I am a college graduate with a BA in Economics. I have no criminal history and no traffic violations. I have been applying to TONS of different firms. I think when they see my credit they pass me by. The thing that sucks is I did not create this debt.. My parents did. They signed me up on their cards as an "authorized user" and then in 2009 decided to not pay the bills any more for their debt! It was nice they wanted to establish my credit history but I would have been better off with a secured credit card in my own name. Now I have 5 negative cards on my credit report! I want a job VERY bad and I apply all the time.. I am in Sacramento, California but the market sucks plus I look bad with this debt that isn't mine.. Can anyone suggest what jobs I can get? I am of course taking care of these issues and have disputed and will pay off the debt but still this just sucks. I have to Man up and get going...Who has some advice? Thank You

Most employers do not do credit checks on potential employees. Why would they care if you have bad credit? How does that impact your work ethic? It doesn't. I think you're simply not getting jobs because you:

a) have no work experience in the fields you're applying in

b) you didn't do well in college, so it doesn't matter where you went or what degree you have

c) you aren't presenting yourself well on your resume or at interviews

d) there are more qualified people than you

Any and all of these could be the reason behind why you're note getting hired. But you'd honestly be lying to yourself if you think you can blame your unemployability on your credit score.
