Can My Employer Check My Score?

Some employers use your credit report to assess their risk in hiring you . A history of negative public records or other derogatory marks could indicate to employers an applicant has a record of untrustworthiness and unsavory behavior. Especially if you are applying to the fields of government or medical work or for jobs in accounting and financial matters, these hold a great deal of responsibility.
