Question

Would a bankruptcy stop me from getting hired as a border patrol agent ?

Answer 1

The only way filling for bankruptcy can hurt prospective employees is when they run a credit check. Typically people who have gone through the bankruptcy process have poor credit. Employers don't want to hire someone who is a potential credit risk. Since you most likely won't be handling funds your credit score should not be a problem. Some employers also worry that employees with poor credit histories may also be easily bribed.

Answer 2

Not if you're honest about it. Most people don't realize that the most important thing with background checks is to be completely honest.

Answer 3

The only qualification to be a border patrol agent is to be heartless and a power freak.

Bankruptcy? Naw.

Answer 4

Yes.
