a question about honesty
friends,
Recently a friend and I had a discussion regarding honesty. I would appreciate some other opinions. If you were a recovering addict and filling out an application for a job would it be pertinent to make the prospective employer aware of your recovery? Exactly how much do you tell about yourself? I don't mean that you have a "tell-all" on your application but how would you explain the gaps in your resume? If you are truly working your program is there a "guideline" more or less on how to handle this situation and still be truthful but not misrepresent yourself in recovery?
My friend said to say nothing. I said to answer all questions honestly when asked. IMHO you can't just sit there and "say nothing."
Anyway, I'd appreciate input regarding staying true to the program.
