Are you drug tested at work?

Just because the job doesn't involve operating heavy machinery, that doesn't mean that I don't want to know whether my employees (or prospective employees) are druggies. IMO, it says something about the type of person. It tells me that this person is willing to break laws/rules in the name of having fun.

It's no different than the latest method companies are using to screen employees...credit checks. It gives you insight into what type of person you're dealing with.

From an employers viewpoint, I want the best of the best working for my company. If you have bad credit, or are a drug user, you aren't in that group IMO.
