Mobile Phone use in the
US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM
sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for
the price of a local call from your mobile!
When applying for a job can American companies look into other countries credit check systems? I am thinking to myself do these companies even have jurisdiction overseas? I just want to make sure so I give myself a schedule to pay off any current credit card bills and so on.
"Laws vary by state. But, generally, employers are permitted by U.S. law to investigate your credit report to make hiring decisions about you during employment background checks. They can also use it to make firing, promotion and reassignment decisions after they've hired you. But employers must have "good cause" to make employment decisions based on your credit report."
There is more info in this article, I'd take a look at it. This is something that I was also wondering about! Thanks for posting this great question!
It is amazing and very scary to actually find out how much information somebody can dig up on you. I mean be very careful since lately I have read about some sort of security breach by hackers into come companies server stealing all the personal date.
I always make sure to keep checking on my credit history every 3-6 months now.
