fired due to foreclosure

And some companies do an initial background check and pulls your credit history. But after that, those employers don't really look at your background and record thereafter.

 

The one exception is if you work in an area that exposes you to customer's sensitive data. Then, typically, expect to get investigated more frequently.

I agree with FLU. I once worked for a company that did credit checks upfront and obviously never followed up after that because at least two employees I knew subsequently had BKs and the company never knew.

What I find fascinating is that, according to an article I read recently, more and more employers are searchimg myspace and Facebook to see if a potential employee is a whack job. There were a few interesting examples in that article about people who weren’t hired based on those searches (the person posed with a rifle and such).

Or an employer that fires people after it catches them lying about being sick by finding them on facebook blogging about a party they attended that day…Never understood people that like to post detailed private information and pictures about themselves on the i-net.

FLU–

LOL at that link. The pic and comments are priceless. There’s some discussion about whether it’s legal to publicly shame someone in the way that company did. The internet is so relatively young there probably haven’t been any court cases about this matter, but I’m going to side with the people who say that if it’s on the internet and not copyrighted, it’s public domain.

Another poster (in the link) said, “That’s why I made my Facebook page ‘private.'” My kid (age 19, and, of course, legally an adult) has a Facebook page without the kid’s real name but I easily found it using the nickname the kid uses for hotmail. Nosy parent? Yep. But no matter how old they are, you never stop worrying about them.
