I'm reminded of a story I heard once about someone applying for a job for some city government. While filling out the application, he asked about how honest he should be about work history. He was told to be honest, and continued to fill out the application. Upon reviewing the application later, the hiring manager found that the previous history contained nothing but the words "Drug diller(sic)".

Needless to say, he didn't get too much further than that.

We just interviewed a P.T. Office Assistantt who wore her earbuds during the interview.

'It' okay, I can hear you', she said confidently :-)

Here's an idea for a future story.

8. Do you have a random drug testing policy?

That is a question that I ALWAYS ask.

If the company says yes, then I walk .. it's nobodies business but my own, and any company that thinks it can do that to me, doesn't get my services.
