Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: business law

The law does not forbid employers to hire people with bankruptcies or poor credit histories. Some particular employers -- especially in the financial sector -- will not hire such people for some sensitive jobs. Most jobs don't raise such concerns. Your past probably won't affect your employment search very much unless you are trying to land one of these sensitive financial jobs.

Re: business law

Low credit scores and bankruptcy are a yellow flag warning to employers who need someone who is financially astute and responsible, such as, for example, a purchasing agent, controller or budget analyst. If the reasons for the applicant's financial woes are readily explained by, for example, illness, accident or divorce, the judgment should not be so harsh. If the position calls for other high-demand skills, such as expertise in Linux, the other garbage should be of little or no consequence.

It does all the time.
