Reynolds and Reynolds Variable Operations Sales Specialist Interview

Interview Details – I was contacted by a Reynolds recruiter in College Station, TX, via email. I applied for the Variable Operations Sales Specialist position and the corporate recruiter invited me to take the personality test, skills test and IQ test. She informed me that I would be notified if I was a good fit for them after going through the tests. All of these online tests took me nearly two hours to complete. Apparently the recruiter felt I was good enough to schedule an interview via Skype, which I agreed to. The Skype interview went well. There weren't any crazy interview questions. Just asked me about my work history and what I liked about certain jobs, etc...
She also asked me what I knew of Reynolds & Reynolds, so I was glad I had researched the company. The interview took about 30 minutes. I felt good about it, and the recruiter asked me if I would agree to Reynolds running a background check and credit check. I said that was fine. She informed me that if the background and credit check came back clean, I would go to upper management for an interview. Unfortunately, two days later I was contacted by the recruiter. She told me there were a couple of "dings" on my credit and she wondered if I had a "story to go along with them." I asked her what specifically she was talking about and she informed me I had almost $8,000 worth of bad credit. I was shocked and told her I had no idea what she could possibly be seeing. She mentioned a $280 collection from six months ago that I recently paid, and she brought up a $7500 credit card account that my ex husband and I held jointly in 2007! I told her we had problems with finances in 2006-2007, but we had paid everything off many years ago. I assured her this debt was paid and she said she just wanted to make me aware of the situation. I told her I could produce the payoff receipt for the $7500 account and she said OK and that she was forwarding everything to upper management. That was last week and I haven't heard anything. She also asked me if I had any other job offers at this time and I told her I had one but I had turned them down. She simply said, "OK."
I think its really strange to go line by line through one's credit report. I have worked for a pharmaceutical company and major cellular and internet companies. They ran credit checks and never once brought up BS from five years ago. I felt like they went through my credit history with a fine tooth comb. And the bottom line is that my credit score is good! I have no problems getting credit for anything. As a 30-something female, I felt like I had been scolded by my parents and it was unwarranted. Like many other posters on here, I'm glad I didn't get called in for more BS. Overall, this was a major waste of time.
