I would think if you were going to be working in a financial institution in the position of bank teller or banking manager, but not in the field you want to get into.

I have a friend that went bankrupt a few years ago and she now works in a hospital as a lab technician.

Good luck in whatever you do.

I am a supervisor of a Lab in BC. I have never asked asked any employee in resume or interview if they declaired bankrupsy. Like I would even care. All I want to know is if you can do the job, and if your a potential trouble maker.

It's unlikely that you'll be asked about your credit history, unless you become an executive. Even then, you may never be asked. There are tons of executives who've declared bankruptcy. I happen to know that the CFO of a major Vancouver real estate development firm has declared bankruptcy twice, despite being a chartered accountant and director of the company.

However, it's better to make good on your promise to pay. Bankruptcy means you won't be able to rent from many landlords, use credit for a car, buy a home, or start a business. And, after 7 years, you'll have to rebuild your credit history from scratching, meaning those things will take years to attain and at very high interest rates. Send in $5 a month, if need be. You'll save yourself heartache.
