Pharmacist with a misdemeanor?
I got called into Wal-Mart in Huntsville, AL for a job interview. I did the job interview then they sat me out front and said they’ll be back going to discuss or something I guess. One lady came out said she is doing my background check and references then I get called back there. They show me what job they are offering me and its as a part time pharmacy technician (don’t have any experience in pharmacy – and I never told them I did). I accept the offer on the computer and the sheet I had to sign. Then she gives me a sheet that says about the background check, I then click yes I have been charged with a misdemeanor and then it asked for details I put “possession of marijuana”. Then I give it to the lady and she gives me the directions and the sheet I have to give to go get my drug test, which I don’t do anything I will pass it. She says I have 24 hrs to take it, told her I’d have to take it in morning seeing as my wife has to go to work right when I get home and I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter that I have to watch. She said thats fine just have to 2PM tomorrow to take it and its all electronic so once it I take it they send information to her and she’ll call me with details, she hadn’t looked at my sheet yet that said misdemeanor I put down.
Anyways, what I’m getting at is me have a misdemeanor marijuana charge going to make them take their job offer back for the pharmacy tech? It looks like I’m pretty much hired, but I don’t know how they usually do this.
Are you sure they actually hired you already? It kinda looks like they trying to do everything all at the same time, giving you an offer of employment and checking your criminal background and references. They shouldn’t do that. They should check references and background check BEFORE hiring someone. This situation is gonna lead to misunderstandings. They are doing the hiring process very poorly in my opinion. They might retract their offer of employment if they don’t feel comfortable that you’ve had a misdemeanor.
