Don’t let this common myth make you avoid getting relief from debt with Provo bankruptcy.

Just like other scary things in life, personal bankruptcy has acquired a reputation consisting of truth mixed with conjecture.  The myths surrounding Provo bankruptcy almost always serve to make it more frightening than it ever needs to be.  Sadly, these misconceptions often persuade debtors to avoid bankruptcy at any cost, avoiding also the benefits that come with a successful Provo bankruptcy filing.  At Utah County Fresh Start, we don’t want you to be a victim of misinformation.  So today we’re going to set you straight concerning a bankruptcy myth you may have heard before: that your employer can fire you because you filed for bankruptcy.

It is true that bankruptcy case proceedings are public, but there are so many bankruptcy filings that the media doesn’t have the resources or the even the desire to report on all of them.  Unless you’re a celebrity or major corporation, the chances of your employer or anyone else being aware of your Provo bankruptcy is minimal.

Even if your employer becomes aware of your Provo bankruptcy filing, the bankruptcy code clearly prohibits employers from discriminating against their employees based only on their bankruptcy filings.  That does not mean you’re completely untouchable, however.  Employers can fire bankrupt employees if they can prove that their bankruptcy was not the only factor in the decision.  So be careful, but overall you have nothing to worry about.  If you were a good employee before your bankruptcy, you will still be a good employee after Provo bankruptcy, and your employer knows that.

Many people file bankruptcy.  They file after they lose a job, get a divorce, or get expensive medical treatment.  If you can’t keep up with your bills, don’t be afraid to file Provo bankruptcy.  We can help you get out of debt and move on with your life.  Don’t carry the burden of debt forever, let Utah County Fresh Start get you out of debt fast.

Do you need a job after Utah bankruptcy?

After Bankruptcy, Bankruptcy No Comments

For many Americans, finding a reliable income has never been more difficult or more important.

Debtors all over the country, including those here in Utah County, are struggling with their finances.  Many have lost jobs or had their hours cut.  Those who own their own businesses are losing revenue as consumer spending continues to drop.  But credit card bills, mortgage payments and medical expenses are relentless.  Out of options, many debtors are turning to Utah bankruptcy for help.  At Utah County Fresh Start, we can get you relief from the debt that is holding you down.  However, Utah bankruptcy is only the beginning of the road that leads to financial security.

At Utah Country Fresh Start, we are interested in your success, not only in Utah bankruptcy court, but in the years that follow.  We want your post-bankruptcy years to be better than the years that lead up to your bankruptcy.  Rebuilding your credit after bankruptcy requires the discipline to follow the Life After Bankruptcy steps for financial success.  A critical part of that success is a steady job.

Unfortunately, unemployment is still very high.  Jobs are hard to come by and the competition can be fierce.  To succeed, you need to learn important job seeking skills.

  • Have a Resume:  Most people know to have a resume.  Not everyone knows how important it is to custom tailor your resume for each job interview.  Highlight your experience, skills and contacts that are most relevant to the job you are applying for.
  • Have a Cover Letter:  The cover letter is the place to explain the information that doesn’t belong on your resume.  How are you uniquely qualified for the job?  What are your career goals and how does this job help you accomplish them?
  • Dress Appropriately:  Before you go to your interview, find out what kind of dress is appropriate.  Some places expect you to show up in a suit and tie, at other places you should go in just a tee-shirt and jeans.
  • Prepare for the Interview:  Research the company before the interview.  Come up with a list of questions for you to ask the interviewer.  A job interview isn’t an interrogation, it’s a two-way conversation.  So ask questions.

With the economy such as it is, finding a job will take some time and effort for most people.  However, determination is rewarded and people just like you are finding new jobs.  Reaching financial stability from overwhelming debt may be difficult, but it is possible.  Let us help you get started.  Submit our free online Utah bankruptcy evaluation form today.  Let us help you become free from debt so that you can pursue a better financial future.
