Recently I started searching for a new position, I’ve been 3 years at my current job and am looking to move on.
During the first contact with one prospective employer I was first handed an employment application which I didn’t expect. I told the HRperson that I needed to look it over and I didn’t have all dates and whatnot with me. But as I looked it over I saw in the Authorization section that in addition to a Drug test and background check that I have no problem with they wanted permission to run a credit check. I feel that this is an invasion of my privacy to the extent that it not only involves my financial situation but that of my wife, who is not and will not ever be an employee of the company I’m applying to.
My question ishas anyone else been asked to submit to a credit check, and if so what is the best course of action? Thanks
Leon
