After attending school for over 5 years and maxing out loans and credit cards so that I can be proud of having a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Arts. But wait one second ! Applying for employment within my chosen career justifies a criminal and full credit check to be an artist at a steel stud manufacture ( Scafco ) Why would they want such information? In what position does a struggling graphic artist have any opportunity to be a threat to them or the business? I for one can not think of any use for this biased and unfair hiring process that they use to weed out potential employees.

There are so many circumstances that go into what happens on a credit report. Which reminds me, I have to go through and explain how I obtained all of my credit card debt ;) I can understand where the employers are coming from too, and pulling a credit report probably does help them weed out “bad” employees – but I think it prevents them from hiring some great employees as well.

I know someone who had to basically justify each and every single thing on their credit report and obtain letters for their defaulted student loans just to get a job. I haven't heard of every industry doing this but definitely in the finance industry. It happens more often than you think.

I hear where you are coming from. I guess I can also understand the employer's perspective, however. Hiring a new employee is very costly, and even more if it doesn't work out. The theory is that someone who takes care of their business in their personal lives are more responsible, thus more likely to take care of business on the job.
