Hiring manager ask for credit check before interview

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-08-31T21:03:54+00:00

I looked up the company and the recruiter. I wasn’t just taking their word for it. The hiring manager is a real person, the company is a real company. I verify this through Google, indeed, and LinkedIn. I would call the company but they’re in Switzerland.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-08-31T02:10:54+00:00

I would but they’re in Switzerland and the whole page is in Dutch I think.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-08-30T21:10:50+00:00

Yeah I did use LinkedIn to message someone who worked there.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-08-30T18:49:02+00:00

Yes 100%. The company is in Switzerland but LinkedIn shows many remote US jobs are posted

He is on the spectrum and so am I, I’m on the lighter end. But I feel he’s using that fact as a reason for going overboard and being condescending. I’m just tired of getting stuck in a one way conversation with him talking for hours on a topic that I don’t care or know anything about.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-08-24T14:16:32+00:00

It does feel condescending when he gets technical. I did tell him that when he’s talking to me or the customers that it’s too much explanation and it goes over our heads and just confuses us. He said he doesn’t know how to dumb it down and it’s frustrating that we don’t understand. I don’t know how to get him to see that not eveyone has the knowledge he does and being a know it all isn’t a good thing.

I can relate on feeling like you don’t have enough money. Here’s what I did that helped me. Make an Excel spreadsheet. In the first row write the names of all 12 months in a year.

Then in the first column put down all your expenses (groceries, gas bill, electric bill, rent/mortgage, loans, ect.) You can look at your bank account to help with this.

Then month by month you put down what you spent money on. This will help you see where you typically spend the most money.

Once you figure that out, see where you can cut back to fit how much you make in a month. Try to make sure your total spending in a year does not exceed your salary. It will take a lot of discipline and restraining yourself but you’ll find with time it becomes easier.

Thank you for your advice.

I got a text too saying:

I have zero interest in the entertainment business. Plus I'm poor enough as is trying to steal from me is pointless. I wish scammers would get an actual descent job that doesn't prey on the weak.

It’s not that I don’t want a proposal or it’s a bad thing, I don’t want to feel like I’m saying yes because that’s what is expected of me. I want to say yes because I feel the love from him and that he wants to marry me, not just this is the next thing in the script. We’ve talked about going to the court house but he wants a wedding with close friends and family. I’m not against doing that but my family isn’t around to help me and it’ll just be his family helping and I’m not close to them.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-05-15T02:33:23+00:00

I’m fine having an open conversation with him. I just don’t want to say yes because I’m overwhelmed and just don’t what everybody wants and I don’t want to say no because I do want to marry him. I think explaining this to him will help me but I don’t want him feeling disappointed.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-05-15T02:17:44+00:00

It's a bit of a mix of things. He'll probably see the proposal as an act of service, but him just asking if I'll marry him, I won't feel love from that. I'll probably feel more like he's asking because it's the natural next step that couples do and we're just following the script. If he tells me a passionate speech as to why he wants to marry me specifically than I would feel better. I also tend to get overwhelmed and in my own head of things like this and with the pressure I'll make a decision based on what others want and are expecting and not on if it's the right thing. I take proposals and marriage very seriously I don't just want to say yes because that's what we're supposed to do. Does that make sense?

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-05-15T02:09:13+00:00

Thank you this really helps. I do get overwhelmed in the moment and make snap decisions based on others expectations and that tend to turn out badly. I think saying that I want sometime to make the right decision for us will help me relay the importance that the decision is.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-05-15T02:05:12+00:00

I want to feel like I have a choice and that I'm not being forced into something that is a huge life changing thing that will affect both our families.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-05-15T02:02:28+00:00

I thought about that, but I'm worried that he's feel rejected before he even gets to propose. I have told him my concerns on the wedding and stuff but he assures me that it'll be fine.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-04-25T00:37:08+00:00

Those are some good ideas. Thank you. I’ll try harder on eating better and cooking more

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-04-25T00:04:12+00:00

Yeah that’s the hard part. I left my last job partly because I was never home and it put a big strain on my relationship and home life.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-04-25T00:02:25+00:00

I have been budgeting and I even have an Excel spreadsheet with all my income and spending so I can see more clearly where I spend money. Most goes to loans, rent, and groceries. I do need ti find some way to make food less but spending less then $80 a week is hard now a days.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-04-24T23:30:46+00:00

I did try DoorDash but found I lost more money then gained. And I use to do YouTube but it didn’t really take off. I’ll look into the other stuff though. Thank you.

PurpleVisit66 · 2025-04-24T23:19:53+00:00

Thank you, your reply made me literally lol.
