Employment to Large Companies…drug Tests?
Question by puffer fish: Employment to large companies…drug tests?
I recently tried to apply to a large company to be an accountant, and they asked if I would be willing to do a hair folical test. I said yes, but never returned their phone call because I knew I would fail…I used cocaine and marijuana several months ago, and although it would be long gone in my urine or blood, I heard it stays in your hair folical for years…are most companies doing hair folical tests now?

It’s hard to say “most” companies are doing hair follicle tests, since not all companies do drug tests prior to employment. But yes, of companies that do drug tests, the hair follicle test is becoming increasingly popular for its less invasive nature and wider window of detection than urine testing. Purportedly, in fact, “the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has proposed new rules, in the final state of revision, that are likely to make hair the prime specimen for drug testing.”
However, supposedly the standard for testing is only about the first 1.5 inches of hair, which is more or less 90 days back depending on how fast your hair grows, even though how far they could test is only limited by the length of the hair. So it is possible you may have passed the drug test; the actualy time frame is fairly rough.

It is pretty much hit and miss.
I have some that do, most do not. It depends on the size of the company and the importance of the results to them.
