Honestly you are going to want to cover all of your bases...urine and hair. I agree with the above posters...full body wax and a three-day detox of drinking only cat urine. You'll be totally in the green bro.

Please don't quote Patrick Bateman.
 

Full body wax is incorrect. Cutting hair makes it worse as your hair will grow back quicker with more drugs showing up in the strands. Laundry detergent and apple cider vinegar for 2 weeks every night on your hair, seriously.

And it depends on company to company.

Only time I've been piss tested was when I had to operate heavy machinery. Pretty sure my bosses are doing bumps on the 51st floor, so I'd be really surprised if they actually tested you. Ie. if you're an idiot, you just won't get hired to begin with.

 

Obviously stop using drugs immediately. Banks are increasing the frequency of their hair testing as it gets less expensive though. AT LEAST shave your head. Try the other suggested methods at your own risk...

 

its a scientific fact that drugs will not show up on a test if pubic hair is used...so, you should shave your head and put pubic hair on your head....BOOM.. no one will even know

My friend who works in HR was actually telling me about the ppl who get rejected for drug use. She said her bank is going to hair testing this year. Dunno about the others.

 

GM may have to do it because they have union manufacturing in-house and their contract with the union demands equal treatment (and thus hair tests to make sure druggies aren't employed).

I've had consulting friends take piss tests for goverment/security clearance work but the general culture was to ask if you could pass the test, and if you couldn't they'd put you on a different project.

I'd be very surprised if banks actually hair test, especially since tons of bankers wouldn't pass.

 

No its not that hard but one stupid night a month and a half ago could fuck me if I were subjected to a hair test within the next two weeks. If the test is conducted after I start working then I am fine but I am pretty sure that it will be soon.

 

Hair tests can last longer than a couple of months. I haven't heard anything about banks doing hair tests though. My drug test was urine.

I don't think they really care THAT much. The whole work hard/play hard thing is certainly true at most banks.
