While an employer can refuse to hire someone who has a lot of outstanding bad debt, they are not suppose to hold bankruptcies (discharging of debt) against you.
Under federal law < 11 U.S.C. Section 525(b) > a private sector employer may not discriminate (refuse to hire, refuse to promote or fire) against someone who has declared bankruptcy. It is illegal.
The problems is, it would be very hard to prove you were not hired for that reason.
Bankruptcies will show up for 10 years by the way.

Yes, it will be viewed very negatively and would probably disqualify you. I have had the same problem.

Yes, it will probably disqualify you. Most companies will not hire someone with bad credit to work with money.
