How many jobs do you have?

How many jobs do you have? Me, 1 full time, 2 part time teaching

In your credit report do you report all your jobs or just your primary one? Me, just my full time one.

1 full time

 

My credit report still has me listed at a job I left 15 years ago. I don't think it really matters but am curious now that you brought it up.

^^^^^^^^^^

You can update the personal info on your credit reports via a dispute and the old jobs will come off. I did this and only show my current FT job on my credit reports.

Re: How many jobs do you have?

Graduate instructor (PT), aeronautics R&D assistantship (PT), campus tour guide (extremely PT), and graduate student (FT).

 

Edit: I only report that I'm a student since all of my PT jobs are because of my student status and the pay is seen more as stipends/funding rather than a salary.

I'm just curious as to what the point is? (aka, why bother if it's not going to do anything for my score.) Now, if they were to give me a few score points. . . . LOL.

Re: How many jobs do you have?

It probably would be better in your favor to keep the job that you've had fifteen years ago still present rather than changes of jobs

Meaning creditors take into account if you move; change jobs a lot and that's less favorable than one whose had a steady, same job for past 15 years.

I have one now

At one point I had four, while in school Smiley Tongue
