It’s the big day – you dress to impress, print extra copies of your resume and don a winning smile. Unfortunately, you might be destined to fail before you ever walk into that job interview, despite your rock-solid qualifications.

A recent survey by CareerBuilder found that 72 percent of employers conduct background checks on prospective employees and include a credit check in 29 percent of cases. That means if you have a dark financial past, it could come back to haunt you during the job application process.

What Are Employers Looking for in Your Credit Report?

Just as lenders review your credit report in order to glean some idea of how you will behave as a borrower, employers also review credit reports of prospective employees.

Credit reports, which detail your history of borrowing and paying back money, can shed some light on how you will perform as an employee. At least, that’s what many employers believe.

Some states that isn’t allowed, and they must tell you (theoretically at least) if they do use the info in a hiring decision.
