$.01...
The credit scoring system is corrupt...a LOT of garbage in = garbage showing.
A good percentage of corporate America management would rather hire slave labor....and just "get by" as long as their credit score is perfect..ie they stay at home watching television....and not doing anything that might jeopardize their perfect credit rating.
Everything you've ever done could, at the next interview, be spun to sound like something that the corrupt, dumbxxx doing the interviewing, might have heard from some wacko, that absolutely hates you...at a bar the night before! Corporate America does not operate by high standards...
WOW...hey lighten up Steve!..;-)....Well, I just wanted to remind ya' of today's reality...when you do get ready to re-enter the workforce, song & dance are unfortunately a large part of the hiring process. It only takes one a-hole to sink you...during their group talk after your interview(s).
