Federal Reserve Drug Screening

Does anyone here have experience/are familiar with the Federal Reserve Drug screening process for interns. I was offered a position at the FRBNY this summer and scheduled my screening. I was curious as to if they are more likely to do a hair or urine test. I wouldn't expect a hair test for a summer intern but have heard that the corporate drug test culture is moving in that direction. Not that either one will be an issue, just stressful regardless. thanks

youngmonkey^Agree. Why would anything be stressful if you have nothing to hide? This makes no sense.

What doesn't make any sense?

Just because the kid isn't a goody two shoes who's scared to do anything out of line doesn't mean that this isn't a justified question.

 

I have a screen coming up with the Fed too. I was very curious as to which test they use -- needless to say, I'm worried too.

Did you take your test yet? If so, which kind did they use? I sincerely hope it's not hair follicles..

Cheers, JJ
