I know that a lot of law enforcement agencies look at prospective employees credit history. What they are mainly looking for is whether or not the prospective employee pays his/her bills. Another thing they look for is people who are extremely indebted. Those are the people most likely to take money for something they shouldn't.
Many employers use different criteria for deciding whether the prospective employee is suitable for hire. Unless you know someone who works for a specific company that you want to apply for a job with, the only way to find out is to apply and see. I wouldn't disclose whether you filed for bankruptcy unless asked. Unless it is a job that you are required to take a polygraph and pass, I would keep your credit rating to yourself, and see how it turns out.
Bad things do happen to good people though, and if asked be truthful and explain your situation honestly. It's a safe bet that an employer that requires a clean credit record, wants just that...and a bankruptcy will pretty much rule you out. But, you can always take a chance and apply.
