i've got an interview tomorrow at a Fortune 500 company for an in-house position.
i'm praying i make it through the background check. my credit took a MONSTER hit in the years leading up to mine and xh's separation and post separation, it's been pretty bad too bc of the increased costs (after school care cost double what dd's daycare cost !). then there's the issue w/ my license ... another parting gift from xh ... i need all the dust that can be mustered up !
I'm not sure if your credit score comes in for a background check? My sister just started a new job a few months ago for an Executive Financial level position and her credit is shot due to D. I don't know her score but I would think it would have come up if it were a problem. I think it's more criminal, red flags (lies in background provided), job history, academic credentials, etc...
Take a deep breath and relax. It's out of your hands now and you've rocked this so far to get this far - YOU GOT THIS!!!
Yeah, unless you're handling financial issues/money I doubt they'll even check your credit. Neither of my employers where I have run background checks have done credit checks on people unless they take payments (I think presumably because they don't want someone in deep financial trouble getting peoples' credit card information?).

Update
The interview went well ... they seemed impressed with my people skills - dealing w attys who make you want to tear your hair out but you figure out a way to keep them at bay- and my overall experience. They're interviewing a few more people early next week. Pray for very good news for this time next week
