I applied for a job. I have been to a drug test for the job.  Does that mean I have the job?

Give the company a call, ask if they have\nmade a decision on your application.\nIt is always  a good idea to call after\nthe interview and drug test - just to\nshow them you are really interested in that job.\nGood Luck!!

That is a good sign.  Some companys will interview 2 or 3 times so others in the company can judge you.  As long as they keep asking you back, you are that closer to getting the job.

You usually respond to an ad or employment posting. You fill out an application and the employer looks over the applications. They call the ones that they are interested in for an interview. Some will tell you during the interview, most will let you know after they are done with all of the interviews.

A number of years ago I applied for a job there. I found the questions on their application too intrusive. One of them was something like "if you knew that another employee was using drugs would you report him?" I think that's a lousy thing to ask someone. After I applied a manager called me and said, "can you be here for an interview in one hour. I said no but I could come later or tomorrow. He never called back, thank god.

Yes, it can haunt you a long time from now. First the person that fails will not get the current job. Second, other employers can ask if you have failed a drug test and if they do a back round check and the person lies they will know.  Third, in the next 3 -5 years, if the person that failed the test finds a job that requires a DOT ( Department of Transportation ), the person will automatically be disqualified from the job.  Lastly here is a little know fact if you fail to show up for the drug test, it is written down as you REFUSED ( the same as failing )to take the test. YOU MUST call where the test is scheduled and either CANCEL or RESCHEDULE the test.

I'm certain that you have been overlooked for a position because you have a felony on your record.  Many employers also perform background checks so if you did not list it it may come up later on to deal with.  \n\nI would suggest doing some networking so the hiring manager already has a recommendation from a trusted source.  This could help them see you as the person you are now and get your foot in the door.\n\nI would suggest leaving it blank as opposed to checking no because you do sign the application stating it is correct to the best of you knowledge. \n\nThe employer may not even notice that you did not fill that question out.  If they do notice it would allow you the opportunity to explain it in an interview instead of never getting that far.

Really when you are taking a drug test like for a job-or probation the whole point is HAVE you done DRUGS -- they really don't care how much because if they find them you are screwed anyway...

You must be unemployed "through no fault of your own." This does not mean that you are automatically disqualified for having quit. They will do an interview with you and ask for a report from your employer and then make their decision.

Does my employer count?

You could still be hired.  Be very carefull when asked about your criminal and citation record to disclose it all when asked or filling out the application.  Manytimes they are looking for lies on the application or during the interview and do not consider past criminal and citation records if disclosed.  If not disclosed they would consider you lying.

Well, hopefully before you accept an interview, you would be sure that this is a position that you think you are qualified for and if you know you have the qualifications therein lies the answer to the question - you know why so use that for your answer.  I am presently going through the interview process.  It's a hairy situation though, when you know that the job that you applied for will be a bore.  Don't do like I did and get into a situation where one of the interviews ask you the question - "We can tell from your conversation, your job ratings and your previous job experience that you could handle this job but we'd like to know if you think this job will challenge you".  Well, the right answer is always to tell the truth which I did and well, you guessed it, I didn't get the job.  Good thing I didn't want it but sometimes you don't know that until you get to the interview.  This is the first time that that has happened to me so I tried to be gracious and handle this as a learning experience and it has helped me in subsequent interviews.  Hope that answered your question.

The fact that you were honest with them and told them about it before they found out about it for themselves will possibly help you out. One of the big things when applying to, or even working at, a police department is honesty. They know that people screw up. It's in our nature, nobody is perfect. But if you can accept your screw ups as what they are, admit that you screwed up, and make every effort to ensure that it never happens again, then a lot of screw ups can be overcome. However, if you lie about it, deny it, make excuses, etc., then that shows that you obviously have not learned from your screw up, and it is likely to happen again. It also shows a lack of maturity, a lack of integrity, and a lack of responsibility, all of which are vital to being an effective police officer.\n\nHaving said that, though, I have to tell you that there is still a possibility that they will not hire you right now. If you used marijuana just four weeks ago, they may view that as too recent. They may tell you to come reapply in six months or a year, and if you have stayed clean, then it will not be an issue, because you haven't used again. The time period may be longer or shorter. They generally do something like that to give you a chance to show over a period of time that you truly did learn from your mistakes and not done it again.\n\nWithout knowing anything more about you or the recruiters, I can't say for certain. But from what you have said here, it can go either way. If it doesn't work now, though, just be patient, show you meant what you said, and come back after a little time has passed.\n\nGood luck.

Several comments - \n\n(1) Most employers have a paper that you signed allowing for random drug testing...it does not say anything about when they can test.\n\n(2) If someone is taking any medication, even OTC, you need to report that before taking the test - there is normally a spot for that info on the paperwork you signed.\n\n(3) It is legal for an employer to request medical proof (note from doctor) to verify ANY sick time. Most employers don't bother, but they could.  \n\nBottom line - You have been taking more time off work than your boss thinks is reasonable. They decided to find out if it was legitimate or if you were bs-ing. Since you failed the drug test, they don't have to do anything futher. \n\nTo others who may be in similar situation - pay more attention to what you sign and company policies. Also make sure to document EVERYTHING.

No you do not have to mention the job,however if in the background check they run your social security statement for earnings they will find out that you worked there. They rarely run social security statement checks.

You have to tell the truth on an application because if they find out later you lied you can be fired. Obviously they want experienced persons. But you could complete the rest of the application and in that spot put No Experience and make comment as to why you think you qualify.
