Pre-employment drug test

Published

So I went back to school while looking for a job to just get some classes to possibly go to medical school. I am currently taking physics and I had an exam yesterday. I have a really hard time with the class so I took an adderall two days before and yesterday to stay awake and to see if it would help my concentration. I am not prescribed it. A friend of mine gave it to me.

After my exam, I got a call from a place I interviewed for said I got the job and to come in the next day for a physical and blood works. I know that that's an amphetamine. Do you think they will take back the offer? I only took two. I am not a drug user or anything. I just needed to study.

Please advice!

Depending on your area too pray they don't turn it over to the police for possession of a controlled substance. Unfortunately this may be a hard lesson learned.

Believe it or not, I got the job. The dosage I took was low so it showed up positive but the only time that it is a problem is if it is over 2000 ng/ml and mine was only 800 2 days after taking. And yes, I know it's not right and could have been a very hard lesson learned and I just got really lucky but I know what my intentions were and they weren't wrong. But thanks for the replies.

Congrats on the new gig!
