I recently applied for a new job and went through a rather extensive process with interviews, personality tests and some logical tests too. After going through my papers also my employment references were contacted. A final salary discussion followed upon which I was presented with the final agreement, ready to be signed. I would like to add that I don’t do manual labor, I work in the IT/IS field.
The agreement included a clause about a mandatory health check. I have never experienced this before in my professional life. I can see why a company may want to do drug tests, but a full one hour health check with fitness evaluation on excercise bicycle, heart check up, blood samples, etc, is just too much. I’m scared of those needles… How common is this? They originally told me they’d only be checking my vision and hearing.
