Is there anything you could do if you failed a a pre-employment drug test? ?

Question

I got hired somewhere that drug tested right on the same day they hire you. It's possible that THC could show up. If it does... is there any chance contesting it could preserve my job.

Answer 1

if your going to a job interview and now when your going do what i did drink lots of water lots and lots before you go pee  then drink lots and lots more you will on pee out warm water and pass the test worked for me and a buddy when i was younger we were working for a day labor job and the company asked me and him if we wanted a job with them we would go for a p**s test rite then unexpected to us and we had just finished smokina phatty at lunch time we got scarred waondering if we would pass we drank water reallly quik pee'd then drank more and they took us same day we passed when we thought we had failed its an option to try if your pressed for time i cant guarantee it will work for you but its a quik option good luck if you have a few days try eating lots of red meat i herd works also ive even drank straight white viniger YUK but hey try them all at once if it works you in like skin better safe then sorry also dont eat anything with poppy seeds they will give you a bad p**s test also i think it takes like 30 days for it to leave your system tell them you was at party and you may have inhaled second hand smoke and to try again no no no i dont smoke it no more just for the reason of job test also these days if you get hurt on your job they can test you and if it comes back positive they will not pay your medical expence ouch that could hurt and also can ya at the same time double wammy

Answer 2

Not to be mean, but you could stop using drugs. Then they won't show up in the test!

Put yourself in the employer's shoes. Even if you manage to pass a second drug test, they know that you probably will use illegal drugs in the future. Why would they keep you, when they can hire someone else who doesn't engage in illegal behavior???

Answer 3

if you were a heavy user THC will show up to 30 days in a urine screen

if you were a light/occasional user it will show for about 7 to 10 days.

it is good that you have grown up and decided to move on with your life.

we can't all live the life of 'Marley'.

most employers will do a re-screen once employed and some will for a pre-employment screen. the problem is if you know you may test positive and do then the re-test will probably be a positive. sorry to say but depending on how long you have quit you need to just wait and not risk the positive test.

an easy way to tell if you will test positive is by a home test they are not expensive and are easy to read. or apply for a job at a nursing home they are almost all hiring and must test everyone.  you don't have to accept a job but you may decide you want to. there are positions in housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, administration as well as nursing.

Answer 4

Yes, there should be.  My company allows for a re-test if somebody fails a tests and contests the results.  I don't know if the policy is statutory or internal, but I would imagine it is fairly universal.  If you are using, don't waste the company's time and money by contesting the result.  You know whether you will fail or not.

Answer 5

No, if you don't pass, you don't get hired. Start looking for a new job and hold off on the pot until after you've been working for awhile.
