Are you in the USA? I find it unusual that all the jobs you apply to are running credit checks on you. Criminal check, yes. Credit check? Only if you are going to be handling company money or some other similar responsibility. If you are desperate, go flip burgers or deliver pizza.
get a part time job and maybe it can be a full time job one day
try a work at home job to pay the bills while you search for a good job. http://www.top-10-work-at-home.com/ try looking here for something to pay the bills temporarily. the online survey thing sounds the most promising to me. as soon as i turn 18 i’m signing up for a bunch of these to help pay for whatever college i end up going to.
I never heard of a company running a credit check on a person before they hired them. It would make sense for accounting firms, brokerage firms and banks; maybe jobs where you handle cash.
Maybe if you apply for jobs where you don’t handle cash, you’ll have better luck.
