...mortgage? Do lenders look at length at your current employer when you applying for a mortgage loan?

[George R]

Yes, at least a year, now longer because of the credit crisis.

Hi,Yes lenders do look at the length of employment with your current employer and they definitely want you to be employed for a minimum of 1 year, and would prefer 2 or more.The exception to this would be having a consistent work record in the same field of employment even if the employment has been with different employers. For example, if you have been a secretary, line cook, bookkeeper, waitress.....whatever, and have been doing the same thing for 2 or more years, but with different employers they usually will accept that and look at your employment record as being in a consistent job.
