Hi,
I am interviewing for some jobs and one I really want will require a piss test. My first interview is tomorrow. I am not sure if there will be a second or third. I just known on the application it stated that upon acceptance of a job offer you must submit to a urinalysis within 72 hours.
Here's my deal: I am 6' 200# skinny build with a fast metabolism for a late 30s male. I am am skinny, not fat.
I smoked some over the summer and stopped Aug 2 for a month. Then in the last 3 weeks I smoked lightly 3 times (We're talking a few bowl hits or a coupld b-hits a sitting). The last time was this past Sunday the 14th (few bowl hits). And before that the 5th (couple of b's) and one time in between 8a couple of b's).
I know I can stall the guy all next week. If all goes well I may have a 2nd interview next week, or they could offer me the job. But I can stall them by telling them up front I am not available next week if need be. That puts me at the week of the 29th (15 days since last bowl hit). Then if they offer me the job, I can ask a few days to consider the offer. If I take it, I have a few days to take the test. So basically, on this timeline I'd take the test close to 20-21 days after the last smoke.
I plan to hit the treadmill everyday over the next few weeks for 30-40 minutes to get the aerobic exercises going.
I also have some of the NeverFail masking drink. A buddy used it on parole and never failed, even after testing 24 hours after smoking. But I know some people say this is BS. Substitution is out. Dilution is a possiblity....but I am afraid of failing due to dilution.
What do you guys think. With my physical characteristics, lighter smoking and 2-3 weeks....what to do? I am getting an ulcer over here.
Worst case is I can pass on the job and keep looking. I just have to plan accordingly in case all goes well tomorrow.
Advice please.
