Many places now just hire warm bodies." [/B] This was very true back in the early-mid 1980's. Then for some reason (probably the cost) they fell out of fashion. I had to pass a lie detector test to be a clerk at a Radio Shack, a photographer at Olan Mills, and a rip saw operator at a cabinet shop. In all three instances I calmly lied through my teeth about questions I thought would cost me the job. I was hired in all three instances. I recently spoke with a personnel manager friend of mine. He said that no one really thinks they get the truth out of a person. It's just the only option they have to satisfy the insurance companies. Go figure. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
