What type of drug tests do companies have in house?

happygreen · 12-03-2009, 11:05 AM

Hello! So I am applying for a position at a Sheraton Hotel which is part of Starwood Hotels Corporation. I didn't see anything about a drug screen on the application but when I went in to interview they said they just need to do a background check, and also a drug test, however they had RUN OUT of drug tests... Well lucky for me I gues right? So I'm wondering, what type of drug tests can companies have on hand to administer themselves? I read online that these hotels use hair samples always, but I want to be sure. I've never even had to take a drug test before! I want to buy the right product but if I don't even know if its saliva, urine or hair, I don't know if I should just buy all 3 and go in super prepared? Anyone with info on this would be greatly appreciated!

Most drug test done in workplaces is hair drug testing getting hair sample and do the test in front of you.. If you want to be prepared you can do trial test at home there are lot of hair drug testing kit online

It ended up being a saliva test. It looked a lot like a pregnancy text, had pink lines that come up for each drug, and if it doesn't show then you are positive. Passed though, woo!

Corporate fascist bastards.

Who gives a fuck what you do on your own time?!

Show up on time and don't fuck around on the clock, pick your check up on Friday.

Okay, rant over.

Most 'on site' screens are saliva and THC has a about 72 hours on the swab, probably the best type of test for a drug user to have to submit to since it shows the least amount of history.

Hair samples should be outlawed, you have no need to know what I was doing six hours ago, let alone six months.

I could never work for that type of corporation but it's a moot point in my case since it's my credit score that would keep me from getting a job there...

Welcome to the 'new world', hope you like sucking dick.
