The impact of bankruptcy on future employment is a consideration particularly for professionals and other workers who must be licensed in order to be employed in their fields. For instance, while bankruptcy does not prevent you from being a certified public accountant, bankruptcy may negatively impact your ability to being licensed by the appropriate agency for certified public accountants. Likewise, an attorney may have difficulty with the professional licensing board if he or she declares bankruptcy. Plus, there are some jobs in which laws actually bar the employment of bankruptcy persons, such as positions in casinos. The bottom line is that if you are concerned about the impact of bankruptcy on your future employment, you should contact an attorney for advice before you file for bankruptcy.
