MS Pre employment background check/Drug test

Hey guys, how are ya? I am thinking of interning for MS this summer in California as a wealth manager, but I do have a few questions before I start. I am currently going through the background check process, and on the offer, under the terms and conditions, they talked about a fingerprint collection process as well as an FBI background check, some background forms are also needed for me to complete during this process. However, a drug test was NOT mentioned on both the job offer and the terms&conditions. I spoke with an HR from them and she said that there is probably one but she isn't fully sure about it, plus she also said that she has only been working there for less than two months. Please advise what I should expect. Thank you very much.

If you can’t pass an at-home drug test in time, go to quickfix’s website and get the overnight shipping on the 3 ounce synthetic urine. Haven’t used it personally, but have heard great reviews from my friends and online. Don’t use a detox drink or the bullshit “certo method” (which is only effective by diluting ur piss). 

 

Thank you but I'm gonna pass on that. Do they normally mention a pre-employment drug test on the offer if they require one? 

 

Hey I wasn’t asked for a drug test either but I’ve just been holding off of anything just in case. I think they would’ve asked by now if it were required but I’d wait until onboarding until you change anything. We’re you asked for work history and transcripts?
