Becoming Employed

[SkyNoz]

So, I did my first real job interview and did well, got the Job! Well, until I take some sort of Drug test, things are going well and are looking forward to my life being turned upside down. No more flightsim, well a little time, limited time designing and completing projects.

good job.

for the drug test, here are two clues:

dont take any drugs... (duh)

dont eat excessive amounts of food with poppy seeds (although it takes an entire poppy seed cake)

Does your new job involve direct customer service? If so, get ready for a whole world of problems. Take it from me; I work at Walgreens.

Depends really, its becoming more of a standard.  In my area only about 60% of jobs will test before hire.  But about 90% have random drug tests all the time.  Keeps most people clean.

Do you almost always get complaints from your customers? I have heard quite a few of your stories about strange and stupid things happening while you were working.  :)
