Don't panic</b></span></p><p>Panic following a lay off is dangerous. Do not lose sight of these two facts - you are a skilled person and you will work again.<br/></p><br/><p>Adapt to what has happened and turn your energies to finding a <br/>solution. The way in which you look at the job loss will make all the <br/>difference in surviving a layoff. Avoid getting into a spiral of <br/>negative thought. <br/></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>2. Acknowledge your feelings</b></span> </p><p>It is absolutely normal to experience <br/>fear, anxiety and depression after losing your job. Don't pretend that <br/>you are fine, acknowledge what you are going through otherwise you will <br/>not be able to deal with it.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>3. Write it all down</b></span></p><p><br/> Put down on paper how you feel. </p><ul><li>What would you like to have said to the<br/> company but didn't? </li><li>What upset you about the way you were laid off? <br/></li><li>What thoughts keep going through your head? </li><li>What would you like to tell <br/>your family but feel unable to? </li></ul><p>Empty all your negative emotions <br/>into your writing and get it out of your system. Do it as many times as <br/>necessary. You can even write a letter to the company and then burn it. <br/> This can have a very cathartic effect.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>4. Make a list of all the positive things about yourself</b></span> </p><p>This<br/> is a good way to build your self-esteem and feel more positive. Ask for<br/> letters of recommendation from colleagues and managers. These serve two<br/> purposes in surviving a layoff - to boost your confidence and to help <br/>you in your job search.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>5. List any positive outcomes of this experience</b></span></p><ul><li>What<br/> good has come from this layoff? </li><li>What have you learned? </li></ul><p>Finding value in<br/> the experience moves you from been a victim to a survivor. Practice <br/>telling yourself and others "It was very hard but I'm glad it happened because ...."<br/></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>6. Engage in stress reducing activities</b></span></p><p>Take<br/> up yoga, jogging, walking or whatever is the most relaxing. <br/></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p>Key to <br/>surviving a layoff is to get involved in activities that help you reduce<br/> your anxiety and prepare for renewal.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>7. Assess your financial situation</b></span><br/></p><p>Take constructive steps to reducing financial anxiety by knowing your layoff rights</a>. </p><p>Ask<br/> yourself what is the salary you really need to earn? Consider your <br/>savings, your expenses, your assets. Are you in a position to sell <br/>assets that no longer benefit you?  Are your monthly expenses all <br/>essential? </p><p>After reassessing your financial situation you may find that your salary<br/> requirements have changed, giving you more flexibility in job and <br/>career choices.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>8. Take time to reflect</b></span></p><p>The<br/> layoff gives you time to examine your job and career history, your <br/>possible career path and your personal career goals. You now have the <br/>time and motivation to consider all this and work out what your next <br/>step will be.</p><p>You are off the treadmill for a while and able to really find out <br/>where you are and where you could be and want to be in your professional<br/> life.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>9. List your current skills and knowledge</b></span></p><p>Look back on your work experience and select the most valuable and marketable skills you have to offer. </p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p>Are these the skills you want to use in your next job? A free online <br/>career aptitude test or a career counselor can help you decide.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>10. Upgrade your skills</b></span></p><p>Surviving<br/> a layoff may include taking advantage of the time provided by the lay <br/>off to learn new and valuable skills.  Lifelong learning is critical in <br/>today’s job market, you should constantly be updating and upgrading your<br/> knowledge and skills.  </p><ul><li>Listen to business and motivational learning podcasts</li><li>Research free courses online</li><li>What interests do you have that could be <br/>transformed into workplace skills<br/></li></ul><br/><p>Even consider changing the <br/>place where you are offering these skills.

Interview Tips, Questions and Answers<style>p{text-indent: 1.5em;}</style><br/><br/>Useful exit interview tips. Make the exit process easier by being well prepared for exit interviews.</p><p>From the employer's perspective the purpose of the exit interview is to understand why the employee is leaving and to gain insight into what areas the company can improve on, the strengths the company can build on and how the organization and management is perceived. <br/></p><br/><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"><img src="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/xexitsign.jpg.pagespeed.ic.BTCkojDWko.jpg" width="319" title="Exit Sign" data-pin-media="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/exitsign.jpg"></div><br/><p>From the employee's perspective the exit interview provides an <br/>opportunity to give constructive feedback about the organization, the <br/>working environment, the job itself and management.</p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><p>Use these exit interview tips to answer in a professional and well-considered manner. </p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>Exit Interview Questions and Answers</b></span></p><p>The complete list of exit interview questions</a> will prepare you for your  interview. Know how to answer these questions properly.</p><br/><ul><li>Be as objective and fair as possible. Try <br/>to remove any feelings of hostility or disappointment from the <br/>situation. Don't get involved in the blame game. Be honest but <br/>diplomatic. </li></ul><ul><li>If your reason for leaving is something negative, try and share the responsibility for this.  For example: <em>"It<br/> has become apparent that my manager and I have different ideas on how <br/>to do the job. Both of us have come to the conclusion that it is never <br/>going to be a good match and that it is better to move on."</em> Recriminations are not a good departing gift!</li><li>Stick<br/> to the facts. If you offer an opinion be sure you can support it with <br/>an actual example. Always have a constructive suggestion for improvement<br/> if you are offering honest but negative feedback. For example: <em>"My <br/>manager did not always ask for my input before making changes that <br/>significantly impacted on my job. For example, she changed the process <br/>for handling customer complaints without discussing it with me. It is <br/>easier to accept change if one is part of the process. Setting up a <br/>meeting to discuss  potential change with an employee and asking for <br/>suggestions would improve the process."</em></li></ul><ul><li>Don't get personal. Stick to an objective assessment of the situation <br/>rather than focusing on individuals. Bad mouthing colleagues and <br/>managers by name is not appropriate. If asked to describe your <br/>relationship with other employees provide a general overview like, <em>"On the whole we enjoyed a positive working relationship and if there were any problems we generally managed to sort them out"</em></li><li>Make<br/> notes to take into the exit interview with you. It is easy to forget <br/>what one wanted to say when confronted with a formal interview <br/>situation. Referring to your notes demonstrates that you take the exit <br/>interview seriously  and have spent time thinking about it beforehand. </li></ul><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><ul><li>Be aware of your non-verbal signals</a>.<br/> If your exit interview is conducted face to face be conscious of your <br/>body language. Folding your arms across your chest makes you appear <br/>defensive. If you are doing it over the phone be aware of the tone of <br/>voice. </li><li>Don't feel pressurized. An exit interview is a voluntary<br/> exercise. If you feel too uncomfortable about answering a specific <br/>question then simply reply that you have no comment. <br/></li></ul><br/><h2>Standard Exit Interview Questions</h2><br/><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"> </a></div><br/><p> How to Resign</a> > Exit Interview Tips</p><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="#topexitinterviewtips"><span style="font-size: 20px;">To Top of Page</span></a><br/></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.32568536#below-paragraph-1 -->jobinterviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11746809636487333693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941503611932615483.post-69543223923842635672020-07-19T18:12:00.049-07:002020-07-20T20:34:12.570-07:00Follow Up Letter After Interview<style>p{text-indent: 1.5em;}</style><br/><br/>Follow up letter after interview help.

Be very specific about the position you are searching for. </p><br/><p>Use the full job title, the job itself and even some of the job tasks. For example, if you are looking for a marketing position you can type in <em>"Marketing Agent, Marketing, Sales, Customer Relationships"</em></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>2. Use quotes</b></span></p><p>Using quote marks allows you to search for an exact phrase. If you type in <em>marketing jobs in Philadelphia</em> you will get all pages that include both the word marketing jobs and Philadelphia. If you type in <em>"Marketing jobs in Philadelphia"</em> you will only get results with that exact phrase on the page.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>3.

How to Prepare for the Pre Employment Test</b></span></p><p>Ask the employer what kind of employment tests you can expect. </p><ul><li>Find out the exact location where the test will be given and how long it is likely to take.</li></ul><br/><ul><li>If possible you can make a trial run to the test location the day before to ensure you know where to go and how long it will take you. Allow time for traffic and parking </li><li>Get everything ready for the employment tests. Have a couple of pencils ready for use. Pack your eye glasses if you need them for reading. If your online test includes a numeracy-based assessment ensure you have a good calculator. </li><li>If applicable, make sure you are dressed warmly enough as sitting still for a period can make you cold.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>2. Reduce Test Anxiety</b></span><br/></p><p>The pre employment test is only one of a number of factors used to determine an applicant's suitability for the job. Remember that usually every applicant for the job takes the same tests. </p><ul><li>Avoid coming across as defensive or nervous. </li><li>If the employer sees you are upset about taking a test it may raise concerns about how you handle job stress.</li><li>Get a good night's rest beforehand. </li><li>On the day arrive early.</li><li>Don't test on an empty stomach and dress comfortably. </li><li>Take deep breaths and keep a positive attitude. </li><li>Avoid drinking a lot of liquids before your employment tests.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>3. Give Yourself Sufficient Time</b></span></p><p>Find out how much time the pre-employment test is expected to take and make sure you are not stressed by time constraints such as another appointment. </p><ul><li>You may need to spend anywhere from a few minutes to several hours of time. </li><li>Some assessments are administered on site, while others may be completed online from any location. </li><li>If it is an online test make sure there will be no interruptions or distractions for the time it will take you to complete the test.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>4. How to Approach Employment Tests</b></span></p><p>Most job applicants do not understand the methodology of personality tests. There are no "right" answers and it is key to be honest in your answers. </p><p>The test is designed to evaluate how your personality traits meet the requirements of the job. If you try and give the answers you think the employer wants you will cause problems for yourself for two main reasons. </p><ul><li>Firstly,the tests contain validity scales that are able to detect attempts to fake answers. This will be considered dishonest by the prospective employer. </li><li>Secondly you are misleading your employer and yourself about your suitability for the job and the chances are you will not be happy or successful in the position. You cannot change the results of the tests by preparing for them in advance and you should not attempt to give the “correct” answer.</li></ul><p>To prepare for the skills test, practice doing whatever you'll be doing on the job - typing, drawing up a spreadsheet, editing. A number of skills tests are available online, you can search for and use the appropriate tests for practice.</p><p> Types of Pre Employment Test</a><br/></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>5. Read the Instructions Carefully</b></span></p><p>Applicants make the mistake of rushing through the instructions and not making sure they understand them.</p><p>Often there is very important information given about how to answer the questions and how they are scored.</p><ul><li>Make sure you understand all the requirements. </li><li>If the test is <br/>administered by a person do not hesitate to ask for clarification of <br/>anything you don't understand. </li><li>Ask your questions before the test begins<br/> as generally the test administrator will not be able to answer any <br/>questions once the test starts. </li><li>If you are testing in a group situation <br/>avoid asking for information from the other applicants once the test <br/>begins.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 22px;"><b>6. How to Answer the Questions</b></span></p><ul><li>Read each question carefully and make sure you read all parts of the test question. </li><li>Avoid over-analyzing the questions, they are generally not designed to be tricky or have hidden meanings. </li><li>Look at each test as a separate set of questions and even if you feel unhappy with one test keep a positive attitude when you start the next test.</li><li>A number of pre employment tests require you to make a choice from a number of alternatives. Make sure you have marked the right box next to the right question number. </li><li>When taking the test do not rush and increase the chances of making careless mistakes. If you have time at the end double check your answers. </li></ul><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><ul><li>If there is a time limit for the test pace yourself and don't get stuck <br/>on one or two questions. Rather move on and come back to those questions<br/> at the end.</li></ul><p><span style="font-size: 22px;"><b>7. Prepare properly for online employment tests</b></span></p><p>It is best to take an online employment test or assessment on a desktop or laptop computer rather than your mobile phone where it is easier to press the wrong key.<br/></p><ul><li>Remember to turn off your phone while you are taking the test so you are not distracted by incoming calls and messages.</li><li>Make sure you are in a comfortable and quiet environment.</li></ul><br/><p>Find useful information on the <a href="https://www.apa.org/science/ttrr.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Rights and Responsibilities of Test Takers</a></p><br/><p>The pre employment test should be approached in a positive manner.

You can find out in detail at employment drug screening</a></p><br/><h2>10 common questions about pre employment drug testing <br/></h2><br/><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>1. Is employment drug testing legal?</b></span></p><p>Most employers have fairly wide latitude when it comes to pre employment drug tests and the current emphasis on drug free workplaces encourages this. </p><ul><li>Each state has its own laws governing employment drug testing which employers should follow. </li><li>Generally these allow for drug testing of job applicants provided the applicants know that the testing is part of the hiring process for all employees. </li><li>Some states require a formal conditional offer of employment be given to the applicant before testing can take place.</li><li>Often notification of pre employment drug testing is given on the application form which the candidate signs. </li><li>Sometimes separate specific notification is given at the first interview.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>2. What about the job applicant's rights to privacy, can pre employment drug tests be supervised? <br/></b></span></p><p>The US Supreme Court has held that both blood and urine collection are minimally intrusive and not harmful to job applicants when conducted in the right environment (workplace or collection facility) without direct observation by the tester. </p><ul><li>In other words it would be considered an invasion of the candidate's privacy if the employer required a urine sample while other people were in the room watching or the employer insisted on supervising the process<br/></li><li>However some courts have held that if there is a worry about tampering with the sample the employer may be allowed to have one person of the same sex as the candidate present when the sample is given. Other safeguards that may be enforced include listening to an employee urinate and checking the temperature of the urine<br/></li><li>A drug test result may be considered personal health information and there may be restrictions on how and whether such information can be shared.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>3. What other rights does the applicant have with regard to the drug testing process?</b></span></p><p>The applicant's basic rights extend primarily to the right to privacy as stated above and the right to question the legitimacy of the test result including the right to pay for further testing at a lab of their choice.<br/></p><br/><p>You may have additional rights depending on your individual circumstances as well as State regulations.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>4. Are all job applicants for the company tested for drugs?</b></span></p><p>Discrimination can be implied if an employer tests only certain applicants for a position.</p><ul><li>An employer cannot pick and choose which applicants for the same <br/>position will be tested. </li><li>However within a company employment drug <br/>testing may be required for only certain positions.</li><li>The <br/>company would have to be able to justify this in terms of the job <br/>requirements and a written drug policy for the company should include <br/>this.</li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>5. Must the prospective employer have the applicant's consent for a drug test?</b></span></p><p>If<br/> the employer tries to test an applicant in an underhand manner without <br/>the applicant's knowledge or consent this can cause legal problems. </p><p>For <br/>example an employer is not allowed to pick up strands of hair that an <br/>applicant has left on a chair back during the interview and use them as a<br/> sample for a drug test.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>6. What happens if an job applicant refuses to be tested?</b></span></p><p>Most<br/> companies include a clause in their pre employment drug testing <br/>policies or in their notification of drug testing that specifies that a <br/>refusal to be tested will be treated as a positive result and the same <br/>criteria as a positive result will be applied to the applicant.<br/></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>7. What happens if the applicant is not able to provide a urine sample at the time of the test?</b></span></p><p>A urine test is the most common form of pre employment drug testing. Usually the applicant will be asked to remain at the collection center and drink measured fluids until able to produce a sample.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: proxima-nova-condensed, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;text-align: left;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Hair testing is growing in popularity and has been accepted by courts as a legal way to test for drugs. Drug residue remains in hair for a much longer period of time than it does in urine.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>8. What prescription drugs can interfere with the Five-Screen test and how is this dealt with?</b></span></p><p>Certain<br/> over the counter medications can interfere with accurate results. These<br/> include ibuprofen and ephedrine-based products. Most drug testing <br/>companies will ask the applicant in advance what medications they have <br/>recently taken. The applicant should list these carefully. </p><p>If the medication has compromised the result of the drug test the <br/>sample is automatically retested using a methodology that will identify <br/>the drug type. </p><p>The applicant can present a doctor's prescription <br/>for the medication that can be reviewed by the medical officer. Some <br/>medications will preliminarily test non-negative, but the confirmatory <br/>tests will rule out any non-illegal substances.</p><p>Employers cannot <br/>discriminate in their hiring practices based on an applicant's use of <br/>prescription medication for legitimate medical purposes. Such <br/>discrimination could be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities <br/>Act.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 20px;"><b>9. Can applicant's "beat" the drug tests?</b></span></p><p>Certain<br/> internet sites give advice on how to supposedly dilute or adulterate <br/>urine samples. Most of these suggestions do not work and are easily <br/>identified in the testing process.</p><br/><p>Even if the specific drug is <br/>successfully masked the product or method of tampering itself can be <br/>detected.</p><p>The best way to pass a drug test is to make sure you don't have drugs in your system</p><p><span style="font-size: 20px;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>10. What about legal marijuana and pre employment drug testing?</b></span> <br/></p><p><span style="font-weight: normal;">This is a complex issue because the federal government has not legalized marijuana although some states have legalized medical and recreational use. Research your state's and the employer's drug testing policy to understand the consequences of marijuana use.<br/></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pre employment drug testing</span><br/> has become an accepted part of the final hiring decision.

The majority of all Fortune 500 companies do employee drug testing. </p><p>The US Department of Labor has estimated that drug use in the workplace costs employers up to $100 billion dollars annually in lost work time, accidents, health care costs and workers compensation costs. <br/></p><br/><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"><img src="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/xemploymentdrugscreening1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.EiHrV0aBKt.jpg" width="480" title="Employment Drug Screening" data-pin-media="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/employmentdrugscreening1.jpg"></div><br/><p>Drug screening for employment helps the employer to develop a healthier and <br/>more productive workforce and improve profits. Employers are encouraged,<br/> through the drug-free workplace program, to monitor drug and alcohol <br/>abuse in the workplace.</p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><p>Legally employers have established that it is within their rights to screen out drug abusers before they become employees.</p><br/><p>An employer can establish a program for testing job applicants for drug usage as long as it is administered fairly and consistently and is in line with federal and state laws.</p><p>The laws concerning employment drug screening vary from state to state. Some states require that employers may only test applicants once they have been formally offered a position conditional on a negative drug test. Other states do not have this requirement. <br/></p><br/><h2>Requirements for Employment Drug Screening Tests</h2><br/><ul><li>It is important that the correct procedure for drug testing is followed and that a candidate's rights are not violated.</li><li>Employers should have a written drug testing policy that requires job applicants to be drug-free.</li><li>Written notice of testing is given before the applicant may be tested. Many drug and alcohol testing laws require that job applicants be notified in advance that they may be tested and under what conditions.</li><li>Written notice is given to the applicant that employment drug screening is required before hiring. This may be done through the employment application form or on a specific form given out at the first interview.</li><li>The written notice details the type of drug testing that will be carried out and lists the over-the-counter medications that may produce a positive result.</li><li>In accordance with certain state laws the applicant may need to be given a conditional job offer letter that indicates that the offer is conditional on completion of a drug test with a negative result.</li><li>The same testing program should be implemented for all applicants in a particular job category or there could be implications of discrimination.</li></ul><p>Find out more about the applicant's rights at these answers to frequently asked questions about pre-employment drug tests</a></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p>It is worth noting that a company with over 15 employees is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination. </p><p>This Act prohibits pre-employment medical examinations before a conditional offer of employment has been made but a test to determine if an applicant is illegally using drugs is specifically exempted from the definition of what constitutes a medical examination.<br/></p><br/><h2>What Happens During Drug Screening for Employment?</h2><br/><p>Generally<br/> job applicants are sent to a collection site where a urine sample is <br/>obtained and then sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. Urine <br/>drug testing is a common type of drug screening primarily because it is <br/>inexpensive and non-intrusive. </p><p>Oral fluid testing (saliva) is becoming more common as it is viewed as a more reliable drug test.</p><p>Test results<br/> are usually available within 24 to 48 hours. Other testing methods such<br/> as hair testing, blood tests, and breath tests are also used.</p><p>Some<br/> employers use instant test kits similar to a home pregnancy test. These<br/> tests are considered accurate for immediate screening but are not <br/>effective in the event of a positive result because that requires <br/>laboratory confirmation and keeping of the sample for retesting.</p><br/><h2>What drugs do employers test for?<br/></h2><br/><p>The most common employment drug screening is a standard five-panel test, called a<b><em> "Five-Screen"</em>,</b><br/> of street drugs including marijuana, cocaine, PCP (Phencylidine), <br/>opiates such as heroin, morphine and codeine, and amphetamines.</p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p>A <b><em>"Ten-Screen"</em><br/></b> test is sometimes used which expands to include these five prescription<br/> drugs that are legal to possess and use- barbituates (phenobarbital <br/>etc), mathaqualone (Qualudes), benzodiazepines (tranquilizers such as <br/>Valium, Librium, Xanax) and Methadone.</p><br/><h2>What about the timing of the employment drug test?</h2><br/><p>Although<br/> it varies from person to person most drugs stay in the system for 2-4 <br/>days, however hair testing and some other more expensive drug tests can <br/>detect drug usage for up to 90 days. </p><p>Chronic drug usage can be detected <br/>for up to 14 days or more while sedatives may stay in the system for up <br/>to 30 days.</p><p>Usually the employer will insist that the urine sample is given <br/>within a specific time period so that drug users do not wait until the <br/>drugs have left the system.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 26px;"><b>What happens if the result is positive?</b></span></p><p>If<br/> a test is positive most labs will carry out extensive procedures to <br/>confirm the result before they report it. Most drug testing programs use<br/> an independent physician to review all test results. </p><p>If the <br/>result is positive the physician will usually contact the applicant to <br/>find out if there is a medical explanation for the result. If the <br/>positive test is confirmed the candidate should have the right to pay <br/>for re-testing of their sample by another laboratory of their choice and<br/> samples of all positive tests are kept for that reason. However the <br/>chances of a false positive are virtually nil.</p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.210714291#middle responsive adsense --><br/><p>There can also be a test result that is "negative" but shows an <br/>abnormal result that indicates an attempt by the candidate to alter the <br/>results such as drinking excessive water to dilute the sample. These <br/>results are examined further and another sample may be required.</p><p>All drug testing results should be kept on a confidential basis.</p><p>Find answers to your questions about employment drug screening</a> <br/></p><br/><h2>What about other employment checks?</h2><br/><br/><div class=" FeaturedItems" style="box-sizing: border-box"><div class="responsive_grid_block-3 responsive_grid_block-228649714"><div class="responsive-row"><div class="responsive_col-1 responsive_grid_block-228649714"><br/><br/><div class=" FeaturedItem" style="box-sizing: border-box"><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"> </a></div><br/><h4 style="text-align: center">EMPLOYMENT CHECKS</h4><br/><p style="text-align: center;"> Background Checks</a><br/></p><br/></div><br/></div><div class="responsive_col-2 responsive_grid_block-228649714"><br/><br/><div class=" FeaturedItem" style="box-sizing: border-box"><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"> </a></div><br/><h4 style="text-align: center">EMPLOYMENT  CHECKS<br/></h4><br/><p style="text-align: center;"> Credit Checks</a><br/></p><br/></div><br/></div><div class="responsive_col-3 responsive_grid_block-228649714"><br/><br/><div class=" FeaturedItem" style="box-sizing: border-box"><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"> </a></div><br/><h4 style="text-align: center">EMPLOYMENT CHECKS</h4><br/><p style="text-align: center;"> Drug Testing Q&A</a><br/></p><br/></div><br/></div></div><!-- responsive_row --></div><!-- responsive_grid_block --><br/></div><br/><p>Find out what to expect in the Employment Testing</a> > Employment Drug Screening<br/></p><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="#topemploymentdrugscreening"><span style="font-size: 20px;">To Top of Page</span></a><br/></p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.32568536#below-paragraph-1 -->jobinterviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11746809636487333693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941503611932615483.post-32093371456677941192020-07-19T18:12:00.034-07:002020-07-20T20:34:12.220-07:00Job Interview Behavioral Questions<style>p{text-indent: 1.5em;}</style><br/><br/>These job<span style="font-weight: normal;"> interview behavioral questions</span> explore those workplace behaviors or competencies that have been identified as necessary for successful job performance.<br/></p><br/><div class="ImageBlock ImageBlockCenter"><img src="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/xhowdoyoumanagestress1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tMvpCMK9JB.jpg" width="439" title="How do you manage stress in your job?" data-pin-media="https://www.best-job-interview.com/images/howdoyoumanagestress1.jpg"></div><br/><p>View behavioral-based interview questions that explore your ability to :</p><ul><li><br/>handle stress</li><li>demonstrate resilience</li><li>adapt to change </li></ul><p>Use the links<br/> to other common behavioral interview questions and standard job <br/>interview questions to get a complete picture of your next job <br/>interview.</p><br/><!-- start: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><br/><!-- end: shared_blocks.123003570#top responsive adsense --><br/><p>If you are unfamiliar with behavioral interview questions you can use the behavioral interview guide</a><br/> to gain a good understanding of this type of interview before going <br/>through these frequently asked behavioral interview questions.</p><br/><h2 style="text-align: center">Typical Job Interview Behavioral Questions<br/></h2><br/><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Successful job performance is often determined by the ability to handle stress properly.</span></span><br/></p><br/><h3>Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation and used your coping skills.</h3><br/><p> The interviewer wants to know whether you are able to perform under <br/>pressure and cope with difficult situations.
