What is the name of your state? Maryland
I am aware that most companies these days will perform a background check on a candidate prior to offering a position. However, I am currently working a full time job (15 yrs) and I am looking for a second job working evenings and weekends. My field is in administrative/clerical. However, I would take anything I could find right now because I am in the process of filing for Chapter 13 with a 5 year repayment plan. The petition should be filed this coming week. However, in order to keep up with the plan, I will need to work this second job to make ends meet. My question is that when I am applying for any position and the company does a background check, will they see the bankruptcy? Does a background check automatically include my financial affairs? Am I obligated to tell an employer, when applying, that I am in bannkruptcy? Can an employer run a credit check on me without first advising me he/she will be doing so? Thanks for your help. I just hope the bankruptcy will not stop me from finding more work. I am willing to work to do what is right, if I am given an opportunity to do so. Also, does anyone know of any jobs out there right now that may not run a check on my credit? I certainly do not have a criminal background. The only thing I have ever done so wrong in my life is to get info financial trouble needing to file bankruptcy? Is Bankruptcy considered criminal?
Thanks so much.
