A little info about what you do or what kind of qualifications or experience you have would be helpful. I am in the DFW area, and the company I work for has several different departments and a couple of them usually are hiring at any given time.

One suggestion is that if any of those jobs were through a temp agency.. say so. Not many employers like to see a 1 year per job average of the last 7 years. If its through a temp agency, they'll understand. If not... well... there are others aplying that don't have as many frequent stops.

Yeah, I can pass a drug test including hair sample. I find it hard to believe that so many are so dependant on a substance to get through life. It makes me feel sorry for them that they are so lacking in self worth that they need something artificial to feel good about themselves. Pretty pathetic IMO.

Heya Mav, sorry for the flippant response, I met nothing personal by it and was referring to some of the crazy posts I read. FWIW I also could pass a drug test and I'm reasonably sure more here could pass one that couldn't.

im entitled to have a beer, drink of wine just like i am to take a break and relax to hit some buddah. i dont depend on them to relax, i just do it like i would do any other thing ..like playing AH, its just one of many hobbies i do. Studies have shown ppl who drink beer or any kind of alcohol moderatly are less likely to have heart disease. Also ppl with multiple sclerosis and some other diseases can benefit from smokin some marijuana. There just like the drugs you can buy at save-on or any pharmacy use or abuse as you please.

i can pass a drug test anyday... or i could just apply to be a security guard in my area they dont test .. then again i have a job so im set for a while.

having to pass drug tests sucks, having to apply for jobs sucks and having to interview is the grand suck-ola.

the worst is bustin yer arse making deals that you know net some vp $20-30k bonuses while you get barely more than that in a year.

work for your self if you can- you'll never want to go back
