How can your credit score keep you from getting a job?

Question by Martini: How can your credit score keep you from getting a job?
I heard on some commercial that a bad credit score can keep you from getting a loan, a car, and a job? How is this possible? Why wouldn’t someone hire you because of your credit score?

Having a good credit score and history is one way of checking if you are responsible and reliable. A large company is not going to hire you to work in accounting if your own money management is a mess, plus they consider you a theft risk if you are hard up for cash. Not necessarily right, but it’s what they do. If you are missing car payments and in debt up to your eyeballs it doesn’t look good to them.
