If it weren't for my former manager getting desperate, it would have been over a month (not counting an unpaid 2-hrs of paperwork and drug testing). There are a ton of hoops to jump through to get hired at a casino, and mine was doing a huge volume of hiring to fill in the necessary expansion of positions due to the new and much much larger gaming vessel. The paperwork and drug testing day was almost a week after my interview and my new hire orientation was to be about a month after that. My department was new though, and out of the original ten hired seven failed their drug test, so my manager at the time was scrambling to just put together a minimum operating staff and had gotten permission to expedite me through the state's gaming licensing process and start me the day I had a valid license, which wound up being two weeks and a day after the paperwork and drug test day. I started ten days before my new hire orientation, which should have been my first paid day.

Two weeks, but only because I wanted to give notice at the current job.
OR
Six weeks, because I had to wait out the winter break between getting my degree and starting to teach my first classes.Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
