Well here's the situation: was a daily smoker for about 3 years and stopped at the end of college (June 12th) knowing I would most likely be drug tested for a job. One of the jobs I was holding out for (Kraft Foods) does a Hair Follicle Test and they recently contacted me for a phone interview tomorrow. I'm going to tell them that I put in my two weeks for another job (which is only partly true, I actually just quit since I was an independent contractor) and won't be able to come in for an in-person interview until November 5th or after. I previously interviewed with them in another city and was offered a different job the day of the in-person interview and my drug test form (hair follicle test) came in the mail two days after that and said I had 72 hours to complete the test. I ended up not taking it and telling them I was looking into other opportunities because the job was a far step down from the one I'm currently interviewing with them for.
I'm 6 foot 175 with light brown/blondish and probably smoked about a gram a day prior to stopping in June. My issue is that I always keep my hair short and they contacted me out of the blue only a couple days after I had a buzz with a number 2. From the vast amount of reading I've done on this forum I know that weed stays in your body hair far longer than your head hair. I plucked a hair to measure yesterday morning and it was 1/2 inch and I'm hopeful I can get to 3/4 inch by the time of the test although from what I've read, even if your head hair is an inch they still may take it from another part on your body. I'm really not concerned if they do end up taking the hair from my head but am much more worried if they decide to take body hair.
I'm curious whether it would be in my best interest to force them to take leg hair, armpit hair, or chest hair? I plan to shave 2 of the 3 and do treatments on the other. I'm also curious whether or not the Macujo and Jerry G. methods are applicable to do on body hair. I'm going to get 2 boxes of a shampoo, most likely zydot to use as well. I know there's a chance I'd be good without any treatments but I really don't want to risk it as I was referred to the job through a family friend.
Any and all help is truly appreciated!
