Unfortunately, I filed for bankruptcy in 2003 (discharged the same year). I recently graduated from the University of California, San Diego (International Relations/Political Science, Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, etc.). I have 8+ years in the financial services/insurance industry and in my current and previous positions have had daily exposure to confidential information of our clients (I review all income documentation, medical records, have access to social security numbers, dates of birth, account numbers and all other vital information). I am obviously trustworthy (and in my prevous positions, was fingerprinted and cleared through the FBI first). *** To the point: I would like to apply for government employment and wonder about the background / credit check and my chances of being hired. I have no moving violations, no arrest record, stable employment history, excellent academic record, and since filing for bankruptcy, I have paid off an auto loan and currently have a credit card in good standing. My FICO score is not very high (roughly 640). Any advice you can provide would be helpful. Thank you!
