Candidate for Client Support Role
I’m currently applying for an entry-level Client Support position and I’m a little nervous about the background check process.
I’m currently going through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and my meeting of creditors is scheduled for September. I’m young and, unfortunately, made some financial mistakes early on while also dealing with debt, including student loans. I’m trying to take responsibility for everything and get myself into a better financial position moving forward.
The role I’m applying for is an entry-level client support position, not a finance/accounting position or a role where I would be managing company money. I’m really interested in the opportunity and feel like my professional experience otherwise makes me a strong candidate.
Has anyone gone through bankruptcy while applying for a corporate/client support role? Did it come up during the background check, and did it actually affect whether you were hired?
I know every employer is different, but I’d especially appreciate hearing from recruiters, HR professionals, or anyone who has been hired while going through Chapter 7. I’m trying not to count myself out before I even apply.
