i think i've seen a picture of you. you look like a shifty little rascal to me. i wouldn't hire you based on appearance, or let you anywhere near the livestock.
anyway, how about an example outside yer back forty?
motorola called me as i was finishing my ph.d. before they would even interview me, they wanted me to sign papers allowing them to drug, credit, and background checks. i declined.
i know someone who is a big league HR person. i was complaining about my experience and she told me that many major corporations require the same shit.
it's great if you can get work through word of mouth. i'm sure that's the case in many smaller or highly localized industries. most of the higher level corporate jobs come through extended personal contacts, too, but that typically doesn't exempt them from pee pee in mr. cup.

Can't speak for beyond my forty, but within it, my previous employer (we were bought out, so I don't count that as another blind hire) had me working for banks and banks' main offices. I've walked into rooms that 90% of the customer's employees don't even know exist, based on nothing more than my employee ID. Heck, it was a running joke that most of the employees that access those rooms have to go through more security checks just to get to their desks every morning than I had to get hired. I've yanked the hard drives outta servers that most of their IT guys would loose their jobs for even considering touching. (One day I'll be able to tell that story in public. Suffice it to say, people who didn't know about hot swap raid drives needed a change of pants, and a security guard got a reprimand). Way back, my very first job was at the head office of Canada's largest jewellers. Again, hired on one person's recommendation. Immediately bonded for a mil. Maybe that says something about the different countries we live in.
