    well i went there and did say at the end when i was chatting as i had to have tues nights off. for Ca. it was like an assesment interveiw. had to quess what some1 was describing and draw it. i got the best on that. at listening. then have a pretent broad meeting. which went ok. i was a bit quite in that though and got pulled up by most of the questions at the end directed at me. then we listened to a call, and had to write down what we thought of it. and had a little 20 min q&a session. it was at the end of that when asked if i had any illness i said i was a recoverd alcoholic.

    at the begining i we all had to introduce ourselfs and say what we'd been doing for the last year or so and i said i'd been in czech for 3 months. when really i had been in rehab. and i admitted that when i was talking one 2 one.

    I thought about not saying it. but what with needing tues night off and not really wanting to be dishonest i said it.

    so i'll hear in the next 72 hrs. weather or not i got it. but i have faith that if god wants me to have it i will if not then they'll be something more suitable come along...
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.

    lewt, speaking as someone who has hired and fired people, I would never, ever, tell anyone at a job interview anything about this.
    You are basically lowering your chances by a massive amount.
    Sorry
