Has a job ever asked you for your credit score when you applied?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah

Nah

[sage2021]

No, not my credit score.

But when I was in my forties and working for an engineering company, a few months after working there they asked me for my high school diploma.
Luckily I had it in my file cabinet at home. But so many people lose them after 25 years, I wonder what they do in that case?
I remember someone from the school told us around graduation time not to lose our diploma because you only get one.

Nope, though one job application wanted to knw if I had ever taken an IQ test and if so, what was my IQ.

While it's not common, some employers, especially in financial or government roles, may request your credit score as part of the hiring process. They usually do this to assess your financial reliability and trustworthiness, particularly if the job involves handling money or sensitive financial information. In my experience, being prepared with a solid understanding of your credit history can help you navigate such inquiries gracefully and demonstrate your readiness for the role. Always ensure you understand your rights in such situations, including obtaining consent and knowing how the information will be used.
