"Next, no fat cops or drinkers."

There already weight restrictions, bub, and I doubt if you have a drinking problem you're gonna make new hire.

Typical shortsighted stupidity, as if a drinker automatically means a drinking problem.

Shows your mindsight, Hubba Bubbba.

There already weight restrictions, bub,

They do, then how come we see sooooo many overweight cops.

You mean you've never seen a fat cop, or a cop who drinks? Darn, are you a hermit?

I doubt if you have a drinking problem you're gonna make new hire.

If you ask me whether or not I smoke during the interview process, you will answer to the EEOC if I am not hired. If you ask me whether or not I drink, you will answer to the EEOC if I am not hired. If you ask me about my sexual preferences during the interview you will answer to the EEOC if I am not hired.

Bottom line is, you better be asking me questions relevant to the job I am interviewing for or else you are in for trouble.

A savy employer will not even offer a job to a prospective applicant until such applicant has taken and passed a drug screening test. Unfortunately for the employer, such test can not determine whether or not the applicant has a drinking problem.

Here are the steps a successfull HR mgr. will take in an effort to hire a quality individual:

1. Recruit applicants

2. Review resume's and schedule interviews accordingly.

3. Contact potential interviewees and schedule interview with HR Dept.

4. Select prospective candidates and schedule followup interview with department manager.

5. Department manager makes decision on who to further interview for the job.

6. Schedule physical which also includes drug screening for all potential applicants.

7. Applicants who pass physical and drug screening are again scheduled for further interview. Those who fail the physical are sent a letter telling them simply that they fail to meet the requirements of the job.

8. Those who passed physical are once again interviewed.

9. The candidate who has been chosen for the job is then given the salary information and offered the job. Should he turn down the offer then the next available candidate is made the same offer.

These steps are necessary in order to alleviate the possibility of an employer being charged with unnecessary discrimination....

The successfull key to the entire process is for the employer to withhold any offer of such job to the applicant until he/she has been determined to be a successful candidate............
