Title: Florida Labor Laws
Post by: Hawklore on February 27, 2006, 01:42:30 PM: Is there anything you can do about a rude, lying, snob of a ******** who thinks that a minor should be held responsible because of his lack of managing skills?

My brother took a phone call from someone he didn't know and told him my mom was busy when she wasn't at home, he expects my brother to tell him where my mom is at etc..

BAH! I'm pissed I can't write out everything this is and what all has happend so I've deleted and re-deleted things.

If nothing else you will expose this guy as an a-hole.

OTOH as you grow older you realize that **** happens. Sometimes it is more prudent to just move on and not let your anger get the better of you. If you do pursue this, you just prolong the anger that you now feel.

I sure wouldn't expect your mom to work for these people now however.

Other then knowing your in debt.

Post by: eagl on February 27, 2006, 03:34:40 PM: High debt and/or defaulted loans will raise a flag in almost any security clearance process. Of course, going from not much money to a ton of money between recurring clearance checks can also raise a flag, but hey I have an excuse for that :)

Post by: gofaster on February 27, 2006, 04:12:16 PM: In addition for security clearances, credit rating is also used for bonding, insurance, and licensing. If the job really is "high profile", then the company wants someone who is reliable, honest, hard-working, and capable of managing debt. Pulling a credit check for a professional job is business as usual.

They should have checked me but they are not allowed to here :t

Seriously...

When I apply for an apartment lease...credit check.
Job involves money...credit check.
Flying job...Credit Check/Background Check/DMV Check/Here a Check/There a check/Everywhere a Check-Check. At least I'm not old enough to be required for a colon-check :O
I actually have a copy of my credit report and DMV in my little job folder next to copies of everything else. Resume's, Copies of pilot certificates, medical, drivers license, passport, FCC ticket etc etc...

Credit check's no big deal and nothing to ruffle your feathers over. Good luck to mum with the "high profile" job. I hope it's high paying too.
