Seanh,
I would say there is no industry-wide standard since workplaces and cultures can vary widely. I would guess that financial institutions, firms/agencies that require secuity clearance would look the hardest at a credit history. But there are lots of places to look for work. I have been supporting a financial system including payroll for 5 years for a publicly traded company. My credit was never checked, although crimal records (none exist) were checked.

According to your post you addressing your debts responsibly and are moving forward to clean things up. People respect a person's willingness to resolve mistakes and pull out of a hole. I say move ahead to the future. Stress the assets you will bring to the workplace. Good luck.
