Firm wants me to get an Amex corporate card. If my credit is not great and the firm pays the bill in full each month, how likely am I to get denied if it’s just a soft inquiry? I have an Amex now too

What's your credit score

Yeah what is not great credit

As in, is 730 considered bad nowadays?

Between 600 and 650

Ouch. That's indeed on the lower end. I think if you report your income and all that, and you're a current amex client, you should be ok.

What happened?

It will be approved.

How did you get your personal Amex with that credit score? Was it higher before and then something happened?

Oh yea I’ve had my Amex for years probably about 5

I just got one and also have a poor credit score. Got approved immediately.

Yep just got an email from my accounting team telling me my card will be here end of this week

Hi Fishers,

What is the best time of the year to be in the notice period?

I mean what is the time of the year where requirements in most of the companies are at pick?

Like in Dec and March you will see less requirement due to Christmas and financial year ending. Similar what is the best period?

Because in my previous switch, 15 days were wasted due to Christmas and in March lot of requirements went on hold due to financial year ending.

Thanks
