There's nothing wrong with my credit because with the income I just posted, I couldn't get a loan, anyway. Surprisingly after 20 years of employment, I finally was given an unsecured credit card while unemployed and pay it religiously every month with my savings accumulated delivering pizza while I taught myself computers. Go figure.

What drew my suspicions credit may be at hand for my being lowballed all these years was from my last prepress job interview back in '98. Out of the 20 jobs I worked at, my last employer chuckled and made light of the unknown fact I didn't like working for $7/hr at my last prepress/graphics job several years back.

How did he know what I made since I never told him?! He had to find this information out somehow since that last employer went belly up a year after I left. Is there some kind of employer grapevine goin' on in Texas?

It just goes to illustrate that skill, knowledge and experience aren't the only things to consider when developing an employment track record. I don't even apply for any job be it graphics, prepress, telemarketer or postal deliverer, if the requirements are-must show steady work history and be subjected to a credit check.

But they can sure check me for drugs and criminal background because I've never been around drugs nor do I have a record, but yet they still hire sex offenders to work with children. Go figure!

No, the real problem lies in the skill level of people hired to hire people, usually the ones working in Personel and Human Resource departments.
