<prompt> Human: I have been living abroad for most of the year and sold all my belongings including my car as I was planning on staying here a few years. Well plans changed and now Im headed back to the US. Ive accepted a job offer with a fairly high paying job 100k, but the problem is I need a loan now for a car and all the applications online ask about employment status. So my question is, should I put my new employer detailssalary even though I havent started yet? I feel like putting that Im unemployed will cause me to get a crappy interest rate despite my good credit score. But I dont know if it will raise a red flag to put that Im employed while Im still technically not working.  <response>: Yes you should. They may ask for pay stubs... just explain the situation and show them your offer letter. The finance manager at the dealership isnt going to want to lose the deal over this. If the interest is too high in your opinion then walk away.
