	Description:		Preparing to embark on a new job search means you'll polish up all the ways that businesses evaluate their new candidates. But you probably aren't considering your credit information as one of those things that new employers can see. While they can't access it without your knowledge and permission, your credit information gives potential employers a peek into how you've been keeping up with your financial responsibilities over time. They may be interested in looking that over before they give you the keys to their kingdom, especially in industries like finance, or at levels that are senior executive or above where you may have profit and loss sheet responsibility. It's not often the first step in their review process, but confirm that your credit information appears as you think it should early on, so it doesn't become a last-minute surprise that ends up costing you a great opportunity later.
