Getting hired after BK

[senzadebiti]

How likely would one be to get hired by a bank or insurance company two years after discharge of a Ch. 7 BK?

Would one neccasarily be excluded for having the BK on their credit report?These would not be positions which handle cash, but more of a call center type job.

Anything is possible... all you can do is apply and get denied. Some places are more concerned with WHY you filed and not JUST that you filed. Hell, I was able to get a security clearance with an active bankruptcy. They were more concerned with the whys of filed... There are a few different threads on the forum regarding this topic if you do a search.

The landscape of the economy has also changed how employers and creditors view potential hires/clients. Its very difficult now to judge someone based on their credit as to how financially responsible they are.
