Hey there everyone,

After hearing some of the horror stories here, I'm having serious doubts about whether or not to continue pursuing the position (I'll leave it out for now).  I was never keen on the idea of being interrogated in a room for 3-4 hours, and with the failure rate being what it is, this just adds more fuel to the fire.  This would really be a great opportunity for me though (I'm sick of retail!).  I need to put my degree to use before it's too late.   

Am I wrong to think this way? I could really use some advice.

Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same second thoughts. I had to take a poly last year for a volunteer position and assume I failed because I never heard back. It was a horrible experience. I swore I'd never take another poly after doing extensive research on this pseudoscience. Now, I have my Master's degree and really want to put it to use since I'm not getting any younger!  A local PD wants to hire me, pending passing a polygraph next week. I'm really reconsidering and wondering why in the world I'm willing to try this again.
