job interview/credit check!

rabb

I've managed to get myself a job interview at the end of next week. So happy to just have a tiny bit of hope! Had a good few interviews over the last few months and been shot down in flames!

I'm recovering from a pretty bad gambling addiction, go GA meetings and my family look after my debit card.

I went bankrupt 2 years ago so my credit rating is ZERO! I had a great credit rating up until roughly 3 years ago but not that that means anything now....

The job I've got an interview for is in an administration role, involving supplier/customers/partners etc. It isn't a company involved in the financial sector. What are the chances they'll do a credit check on me?

So depressed these last few years, just need 1 bit of luck to wipe out all my misery!

If it isn't financial/accounting/insurance related, I doubt they'd check your credit rating.

Well done on dealing with your addiction, and best of luck for your interview.

I would doubt a credit check would happen also.

Good luck for the interveiw and fingers crossed.

It would be nice to know if you get the job.

Thank you both, these days I almost apply for roles as more as something to do rather than any expectation to even get an interview, let alone a job. Guess there's millions in the same boat.

Don't be too downhearted, my Grandson (22) just applied for a job at a posh hotel in Harrogate, his first application sinc coming up here from down south, no hotel experience at all, they gave him a days trial as a breakfast chef and he started 2 days later.
One day it will happen, I promise.
