I have been applying for jobs like mad. I graduated college but have serious credit problems as a result. If depression and panic attacks aren’t enough, the replies to my job applications are ALL saying “we’re sorry, but we’re continuing to look for other qualified candidates.” You’re hypothesizing that I can’t get a job because of my credit history? I’ve never thought of that. I was told that if I graduated college, I could get any job I wanted. But graduating college put me into debt. So I can’t get a job because I’m in debt because I went to college. You’re right, FUBARACK O!
You would not be turned down because you have college debts. Almost every graduate is in that boat.
Hang in there. I remember having scores of letters declining my offers to work for companies and pounding the cold Chicago pavements thirty odd years ago and eventually it worked out. Things will work out for your. Perhaps you should consider moving to an area where employment is relatively strong.
