Been unemployed for a few weeks now, and finally got an interview for the position I really want. Wish me luck guys and gals, if I don't get this, there wont be anymore Jacket shows in my foreseeable future.

Good luck!  Go in there like you own the place.   It's the one time that it's OK to toot your own horn.  Don't forget it!

Thanks again for the support. That Stepbrothers clip is hilarious.

T minus 3.5 hours. Outfit is starched, copies of resume and references printed, still need to shower and shave. I'll be posting the outcome later today, hopefully there will be multiple smileys attached to the message.

Keep thinking happy thoughts Cousin Ed. Just had my first in a series this morning. The feeling of relief afterwords is good. until the worrying kicks in on how you did.

Well, I think it went great. Should be hearing back soon. I thought I nailed it though.

Well, I did indeed nail it. Got the job, but will be drug tested today. :-/

Really thought I would have more time to "prepare".

Wish me luck again, fellow Jacketeers.

Just did a home test, which resulted in a weak negative, but a negative nonetheless. Going to get a cleanser here in a bit, which should eliminate what little THC I have in there. Its still absolutely impossible to not freak out about it though.

God, why didn't I just quit puffing during my unemployment?

Passed the piss test, don't know how. I'm pretty sure I saw a few stems and seeds floating around in the cup. But I passed, I got the job, the universe likes me.

Great news.  Is it normal for you guys to get tested before (or even during) employment?  
Title: Re: Job interview on Wednesday, wish me luck!
Post by: CousinEddie on Apr 29, 2010, 05:33 PM
Yeah, apparently this company likes the random screenings. So, I'm on indefinite hiatus. I predict the first few days being a little weird, but honestly its become a love/hate thing for me. I could use a break.

Thanks again for all the good vibes. Its amazing that the well-wishings of a bunch of internet strangers means so much, but it really does. You guys are the shit, don't ever let nobody tell you different.

Good luck with the job - let us know how you get on.

I'm not sure I could work for a company that thought it was OK to test me for any sort of behaviour.  It's not like I get up to much, but it's really none of their business what I do at the weekends.

Plus, I think it's fair to say that none of the people I know who work in trading/dealing in the City would ever pass such a test.  Although, that might explain why the economy's in such a mess!

Mark- Yes, many companies do tests prior to employment. Many also do random check ups periodically.
