“We’re sorry. You don’t have enough job experience.” This is a quite common phrase spoken to potential employees during their job interview or in their call back phone interview. It means that they do not have a long enough record in the workforce to be considered competent in the position for which they are applying. At least, that is what it is supposed to mean. In reality, employees often find that they cannot get a job in order to get job experience and they do not have enough job experience in order to get the job. This is, in fact, a slightly misconstrued idea.
Life experience is what they really want you to have. They want evidence that you’re not going to slack off and that you can handle the pressures of the work which they will give you. They want to know for sure that you will not crack under pressure and that you can hold your own in that environment. This is not to say that you should unending abuse or anything like that. However, self respect shows, and your future employers are very adroit at detecting those who have had life experience and those who haven’t. At that point, your resume does not count for very much. At that point in time, your best bet is to have and demonstrate a high emotional intelligence. This emotional maturity will show them that there is less need for you to be tested for drugs and alcohol.
The cost of drug and alcohol testing for a business may make it reconsider whether it really wants to implement these procedures. This is unfortunate, because drug and alcohol test prices are nothing compared to the cost of employee turnaround, potential legal liability, employee accidents and fatalities, company reputation, and even potential accidents from employees going home afterward. Our Oraline saliva drug tests and our LifeLoc FC10 personal breathalyser devices are designed just for a company which will implement regular drug and alcohol screening.
