Absolutely! I had a bankruptcy and I enjoy working in a State government. I have colleagues in the FedGov who have had financial problems in their history. The trick is that you show that you're paying your debts on time and explain why you were late in the past. Circumstances happen, and sometimes, people just made bad choices. Either way, the key is time. So, if you've had a bankruptcy just a minute ago, you might have to wait a year or so to show the gov that you are maintaining all your current payments on time and do not live too far above your means.

Yes you can. There is no legal base for a Bank to fire you for filing bankruptcy..... Filing bankruptcy is not a crime..... I even know people that got hired to work at the Bank after they had filed Chapter 13. I had to file chapter 13 after my divorce and got a raise couple months later at the bank. Not because I filed bankruptcy or because they would have felt sorry for me about getting divorce but because my job performance.

I'm not aware of anything in the bankruptcy law that would legally prevent bank employees from filing.

If you're worried about the bank firing you over ruining your credit, don't be: The bankruptcy law prohibits ALL employers (banks or otherwise) from taking adverse action against you for filing bankruptcy. In fact, if you're deep in debt it may be to your advantage to file, as it keeps the bank from using your debt to fire you.
