New Job Potential - HELP! ADVICE!?

I applied and was given a prelim offer for a non-profit, work from home position. I have a high amount of student loans and some personal credit cards. They are finalizing restrictions for my employment. Anyone had a similar situation happen to them or know what the restrictions may be?New Job Potential - HELP! ADVICE!?
Employers now routinely do credit checks on candidates. Not that I really believe that your credit affects how good of a worker you will be but they may be looking for high default and collection rates to judge if the job seeker may potentiall steal or make false claims to get money from the employer. Also if you are going to be in charge of the company's finances, your own financial situation may indicate that you cannot handle the finances of a company. Or they could be looking into your potential salary in comparison to what you owe. Will you be leaving for another job because you can't pay your bills on this salary?





If you have high student loans and credit card but you are paying on time and not in default, there should not be much to worry about.
