I understand where they are coming from and yes it is a shame that I am missing out on a career opportunity because I decided to file bankruptcy.
What is even more of a shame is that I filed in order to take a step back into the profession that I started out in before I went to commissioned sales which was, you guessed it! Credit Union and finance work. I logged 2 years with GMAC, 2 years at a credit union, and then 5 years in the powersports industry in sales and finance. Doesn't matter now.
I probably would have been offered the job in a heartbeat if I still had $300K in debt and a 700+ beacon score like I did the day I filed. I never missed a payment, have no collections on my bureau, and had excellent credit up until the day I filed. If you look at my report it is 5 pages of R1s and I1s with no collections. The only reason my score is low is because of that BK at the top.
I have been applying to jobs for 3 months and this was the most promising. I was completely honest with them and told them that I had filed and I still waited around 5 weeks and passed up another opportunity because she told me that she was going to do "whatever it takes". She ended up putting her foot in her mouth and I don't really have any hard feelings towards them, it just sucks.
So now on to plan B, and I don't even know what that is.
The only bills I have now are the necessities and I don't need to make a ton of money but I want to do something that will offer me the ability to progress. I'm kind of ashamed of myself because I'm not worried about getting rich. I just wanna be happy and have the things I need.
I think I'm going to take some of the bang out of my resume and see what kind of responses I get. I'm going to take all of the management experience off and see if someone wants to hire me.
