Drug testing... help!

So I am an idiot. I never smoke weed, literally have tried it maybe 4 times in my life, and not for over a year. Last night, went out, drank a bit too much... and not that I remember it, but my friends now told me I smoked. I have an interview in a couple of days, and now I am freaking out that I may have screwed myself if I end up getting an offer.

What is the norm as far as timing goes for taking a drug test in relation to receiving a FT offer? How long after you receive/accept the offer do you have to take the test? Anyone have any advice for what I should do?

Yeah, once you get your offer you'll have a few weeks to decide. Even if they have you tested right after you accept (highly unlikely) you will be absolutely fine. Don't worry about. Go nail the interview.

Sint dolores dolorem aut cupiditate sapiente consequatur a. Ducimus quia qui architecto. Sapiente rerum magni repellendus et omnis quia.
