Maybe you all would know something about this. To make a long story short, I was an idiot as a teenager and went nuts with credit. It all ended up in my declaring bankruptcy around 6 years ago. Since then I have turned my life around and haven't had any sort of bad credit incidents.
Now I have been accepted to a good MBA program, but I am wondering if I will even be hireable after graduation. I'm reading that a lot of companies do credit checks and automatically disqualify anyone with a bankruptcy. Will I even be able to get a job? I'm wanting to go into something like corporate finance or brand management.
You guys can save the "Declaring bankruptcy shows what kind of person you are," or, "If you cannot handle your personal expenses, how can you be trusted with a company's," sort of lines. I KNOW that I was a stupid punk as a teenager, but I have totally changed since then. The key word is "was". Believe me, I feel absolutely horrible about what I did and the first thing I will do with any sort of signing/hiring bonus is repay all the accounts that were included in the bankruptcy (it wasn't that much money). My undergrad was in business, but after graduation I went another direction in my career. My current career is OK for now, but I can't consider it for the long run. I'm just wondering if the MBA would be worth it, or am I doomed in the business world? Would companies take into account the fact that it has been many years since the bankruptcy? What do you guys think?

As a former credit counselor, I can tell you that some positions are almost quite possibly out for you now, particularly in finance. I know you're a different person, and I totally relate to how much it sucks to have something from a different life pose a threat to your future. So here's what I'd do:
1. Make sure your credit is PRISTINE. You can achieve fabulously high scores post-br; it just takes a little time and good credit management. Check this out for a quick and dirty on good credit management: 108-t43370. (And please forgive me for being a bit flippant about br in this post; I really do know how painful that situation is.)
2. Find out the details on how long BRs stay on the report. They stay on there longer post-br in certain situations, depending on the situation. I don't remember exactly what the scoop is, though.
3. Work your network. Get your buddy in finance to talk to HR. Policies will certainly vary depending on the company. You can get an idea if you do a little research.
Let me know if you have other questions - I may be able to help.
