Credit Score Check when applying for a job?
My daughter is a college student, and recently applied for a part-time job in a Washington, DC retail store. They told her they need to do a credit report before they hire her. She has worked retail before and has excellent recommendations. I was in retail for over 10 1/2 years for a well known retail co. and we never did a credit score check on hiring an employee. I've never heard of this before? http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/302560_creditchecks06.html She sent me this article Tomkat thanks for enlightening me. I agree! 21st century mom

- Welcome to the 21st century Someone with a poor credit rating, with a LOAD of debt, might be a candidate for company theft - or - lightening the cash drawer before turning it in. Or they might work their tail off to make ends meet. It's a factor that must be considered.
