That reminds me of one of my old assistants. I think one of the best things about owning a business is being able to make a positive impact on people's lives. Had an assistant with a serious drug past. Nicest guy kid, looked like Mr. Rogers, had a great attitude and wanted to learn but was terrible at most tasks. Worked with him for 3 months, lot of mentoring, but finally had to let him go. I see him at Home Depot (works there) now and again.

Ask him if he can pass a drug test "right now" ......
It's a question we ask those asking for pre-trial diversion or drug court as opposed to just facing the judge........it's our "weed out" question...... |

FYI: when applicants ask 'where do I go for my drug test?', they are actually asking 'do you drug test?'....

Have gotten a few new resumes in today and two are actually excited (long, detailed cover letters) about the position. Next week could be a good week.

Interviewed 3 young men today, one I like a lot, another that is decent, and the focus of this thread, well, a nice guy but not cut out for this kind of work and I think he might have been high. There was something a little off about him, but very personable.
When asked about the drug possession, he said he was in a car with other guys and it was theirs. No reason to doubt him other than I am sure that sentence has been uttered literally hundreds of thousands of times in response to ones like mine. Thanks for all the good advice on this situation, I appreciate the help.
