Compuware
So... I got an offer from Compuware, and I'm seriously thinking of accepting it. At this point, I don't have other offers, and don't really have time before graduation to deal with taking off classes to drive/fly somewhere for an interview, so the fact that I have an offer in hand is quite a positive. It doesn't really seem like the ideal job for me, but then again, who comes out of college straight into an ideal job? I'll gain a lot of experience, should learn a lot from their training program, and it will look good on my resume. If I don't like it, I can always start up the job search again when I have some spare time and don't have graduation looming, exams to study for, projects to work on, and classes to not fail, not to mention some money in my savings account.

There is one catch, however: they want me to take a drug screening. Now, I have no doubt in my mind that I would pass such a test; that isn't my concern. The problem is that they want me to take a piss test within 24 hours of receiving my offer (which I got today at about 4:30 pm), and they want me to use a company called "LabCorp". I went to LabCorp's web site to find that their nearest testing location is in St. Paul, MN. Yes, I have just under 23 hours to take a piss test 262 miles away. I left a message on my recruiter's voicemail with my concerns, but he hasn't called back. Hopefully I can get this sorted out.

UPDATE: I finally got in touch with them, and I can take the test at the clinic in Hancock. Just have to call and schedule an appointment.
