New job - first time drug test.
Hello all, 30M here born and raised in the UK
As the title suggests I am about to start a new dream job (office based, nothing high security or even governmental). They are a pretty big corporate company and they have a standard of profesionalism which apparently means I need to take a drug test before I can start.
I have never taken one before and it sounds like i need to actually go to a doctors/GP/Clinic to take the test.
Will they take blood or is it just a pee test like you see on the movies?
Commonly what drugs do they screen for?
I imagine it will be a zero tolerance policy but if... for whatever known or unknown reason there may be some recreational level (once or twice a week/weekend vape) of a certain green leaf has anyone ever experienced leniency in these kind of things?
With this slight admission out of the way - is there a chance they will take a hair sample?
If i keep on the straight and narrow from now and the start date, my very limited, panicked research suggests I should be fine! The only risk is if they take a hair sample.
Any thoughts, help, advice (related to the topic above pls for you comedians) or even comical stories of a similar situation would be appreciated!
