 TITLE: Can I Get a Credit Card Without a Job? CONTENT: Keep an Eye on Your Credit While You Search for a Job\n-----------------------------------------------------\nUnemployment can wreak havoc on your financial health and make it difficult to keep up with your debt payments. As you search for your next job, check your FICO® Score regularly and watch for changes that could make it difficult to get access to credit when you need it.\nAlso, if necessary, ask your existing creditors about modified repayment options. Lenders are generally willing to work with people who are suffering from financial hardship because it's better than not getting any payments at all. Working with your lender can help you avoid making late payments or getting to a point where your account is sent to collections.\nAs you take these steps to preserve your credit history, you'll be in a better position to get back on your feet financially when you start your new job.
