Hammerhead Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I went in for a job interview last Wednesday. After I was told I had the job, they had me take an oral drug test. While I was sitting there with the test in my mouth, the assistant manager called the testing lab to arrange for a pickup that day for I was not the only person they had hired. The employer informed me that I would receive a call back after they receive the results of the drug test. It has been nearly a week and I have not received anything resembling a call back from the employer. The testing company's website says that most tests only take a couple of days, on average. As it has been more than a couple of days, I'm getting quite aggravated. Has anybody that has ever been involved in the oral drug testing policy let me know how long this process usually takes?

Labs are notorious for being backed up. I would be patient I'm sure you will get your results soon especially if the company wants to hire you ASAP. From my DUI a few years ago by lawyer moved for a speedy trial b/c the labs were all backed up. Let's just say it took 3 months for me to go to court and they still never had my tests back.

God, I hope it doesn't take much longer than it has. Sitting around doing nothing is getting quite boring. Considering the holidays are around the corner, I would think a grocer would want to hire me ASAP. There were four other people that got hired the same day I did. By the way, my place of employment that I'm referring to is the Publix between Nob Hill and Pine Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Never done a test orally, but have pissed in a cup more times than I care to count. It takes a while to get test results...espicially if they have a high volume of tests to conduct and they are testing for multiple drugs. Good luck man. Stay clean.
