Just curious. My fico is 744. I have a high credit balance and a student loan. I have 37% left of my max on my credit card. Just got back to the USA and looking for work. Also I noticed my employer was only listed as the university I attended when I worked for other companies. Please help me out, Im new to this employer consumer report thing. Thank you
what would be a score that disqualify you?

    they want to know how you handle your personal finances. A score of 744 will them you are ok.

    Employers listed on report are not totally accurate.

    Hypothetical situation:

    You are applying for a job at a bank or other place where you would be required to handle money.

    Poor credit rating: Susceptible to theft or fraud or extortion. May not be bondable (insurable).
    Good credit rating: Less chance for theft or fraud.

    Not all employers are listed.

    They want to see how applicants handle their money.
