Psych Interview and Alcohol.

4397 Views 15 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  lowellaux1
I just completed my psych interview with a dept and the psychologist did not like how much I drank in college. I have just graduated in May, and I would go out on the weekends with my buddies on campus. Sometimes I would get drunk other times I wouldn't. But now that I have graduated I have only gone out two times. I don't drink like I have done in college, but the psychologist said how it didn't look good because I drank alot in college. Anybody have some insight? I have a meeting with the Chief coming up and I am going to explain myself to him.

The psychologist did not recommend me to the department because of my alcohol consumption in college senior year. Even though when I graduated I stopped drinking. But the chief still wants to meet with me. My fate is in his hands. I wonder if he will still pass me and understand my circumstances.
I know the negative brand isn't good. But the chief could have easily said he didn't want me and not waste his time meeting with me. I think he wants to get the full story and actually see who I am, and not just see what the paper says. The psychologist completely blew me out of perspective.

Don't mean to rain on your parade.......but this happened to me once too. Different circumstances but same situation. The chief might want to meet with you to discuss your appeal process or explain your next course of action. REQUEST A SECOND EVALUATION FROM AN INDEPENDENT PSYCHOLOGIST THAT IS AGREEABLE TO YOU AND THE CHIEF
Well HR had called the Capt. and he said to keep me in the process. So now the chief wants to meet with me and determine if he wants me.
