I’m not a risk
I had a successful interview last week for a inbound benefit customer care position. They showed interest right on the spot and asked me to sign a waiver for a background and credit check. I’m nervous about my credit check because I know it’s going to come back a low score. My credit took a hit being out of work and without a steady income such a long time. Should I call ahead of the results or just let them run my credit and hope that it’s high enough to get the job? Worried!

Hi Nicole: This is an EXCELLENT question! It's interesting that they're running a credit check, considering that you're not working in a field that requires you to handle money or give financial advice. If you're truly worried about it, I would give the employer a call to let them know that your score might be a little low because you've been out of work. But I wouldn't focus too much on it - you don't want it to become a focal point of your application!
