Pre-employment screening physical test

After hundreds and hundreds of job applications, a few interviews and 8 years of post-secondary education, I will finally start a (temporary) job. The requirements are nothing other than a drivers licence and a high school education, but I need revenue and some work experience.

A pre-employment screening physical test was required. Here are the tests the staff at the clinic made me undergo :

• Urine ( drug testing)
• Weight and height
• Lung capacity and pressure output
• Hearing
• Vision
• Repetitive Stroke injury (Carpel Tunnel Syndrome) ( hold hands finger to finger palm to palm for a minute)
• Blood pressure
• Breathing
• Heart beat
• Back fitness : touch the ground with legs straight, push ups in 15 seconds, sit-ups.

Not thinking, I was wearing my oldest pair of glasses. I still did quite good, but it would have helped would I have worn my latest prescription. 

The last series of tests were in back fitness. The technician was particularly fit and good looking. I am not sure if the later was a factor in making me perform better!
