A credit check can provides a couple of valuable pieces of information about you to a prospective employer. With your credit history, an employer can determine how you manage your personal finances. Depending on the job, this might be important in determining an employees attitude and ability to handle money (trustworthy.) There is also a section, although usually incomplete, that tells a history of your previous employers and your residences. A good way to verify what one puts on their application.
