I just interviewed a guy this week. I was needing a little temporary mechanic help while one of my guys is hurt. Mid 50's guy, decent resume, not everything I could want, but good enough.
I had put in my ad "Pre employment drug screen" and "part of DOT random pool". I've got my DOT numbers and need him to be able to drive my pickups at least.
Early in the interview he commented that his resume has some spotty work history, cause he used to be a party animal. Switched jobs all the time and took months off on the beach. Really hard stuff, but he's all clean now. I don't care, I'm just short a guy for 3 months. He says he's all straightened out, been clean since his 11 year old daughter. Clean drivers record- everything's good.
I get to the end, and I'm going to hire him, until my other guy is back. I say the next step is the drug test.
Well, it turns out -clean isn't really clean. He at least didn't go and make me pay for the test. He told me he smokes the wacky weed on the weekends, and sometimes during the week, to help him relax and for medical issues. But - I should know its legal now in most states.
If I wait 30 days, he can take the test then and will probably pass, but he won't pass right now.
So- for him, the discussion of his current drug use, wasn't a great job interview discussion, but at least he didn't make me spring for the drug test.
Glad your interview went well 92U 3406, good luck.
