i recently applied to go from a contractor to an internal employee and got the official job offer last week. my drug test is tomorrow and the form says its an oral fluids test, which i will pass, but i have this gnawing anxiety that ill go in and they spring a urine test on me (i would not pass this). i have powdered urine from testclear, and ive used it before and passed a urine test two years ago, but this test will be given on the jobsite and will be harder to pull off.
wish me luck that its a saliva test, i really dont want to lose this job :(
In my experience, if you have gotten past the initial screening (becoming a temp and being well-liked enough by your managers to become direct-hire), your managers probably don't want you to fail the test either. In my experience, management has telegraphed these tests to their fullest extent, and even offered to pull strings to have them rescheduled if it meant keeping a good employee. They probably are not trying to throw you a curveball. If they are telling you it is an oral test, that's what it's going to be.
