Debt Questions

Hi,
as a discharged bankrupt is it still possible to work within the financial services sector?
I feel i may well know the answer already, but need to have it verified by someone with more knowledge of bankruptcy.
A job offer has come up in Dubai working for a multinational company as a financial investments consultant.... should i take it any further or will i be dropped like a stone at the final hurdle due to being a discharged bankrupt...

a quick call to the company in questions HR department have verified that as i suspected they will NOT employ anyone who is a discharged BR.
So saving me a lot of time and unneccesary travelling.

thats rubbish isnt it, i know there are "consequences" for going Bankrupt but not being able to live in Dubai...I would be gutted lol

probably not the best time to go and work in dubai anyway... trouble in paradise as well as the rest of the world...

But not all jobs in the financial sector will have this limitation. Do not stop applying for jobs - but not in Dubai!!

Hhhhmmmmm

I had something similar a couple of years back.

I applied for a job as a corporate IT Security Manager for Co-operative Group. Got the job then had to go through the final couple of formalities, including Credit Reference check.

Low and behold, I was rejected without explanation after the Credit Check

This was despite holding mid-level HMG Security Clearence, doing a HMG I.T. Security job at that time and having been Discharged from BR for about 3 years.

Utter madness and 'Jobs Worthiness' of the worst kind
