I've tested with the state (CA) for possible employment, and ranked very high in the exam. Now I've received a notice requesting that I apply for a position, major woo-hoo because we REALLY need for me to be working. However, kind of a shit-streak for me because one of the jobs I applied for last year told me that if I was a candidate they would be taking HAIR samples for testing. My hair is pretty long, so I was like, "Um.. eeyeah, so there's a few years' worth of smoking history goin' on there." (Fortunately, they didn't call me.)
I've been doing a lot of research and I know that if I'm offered the job I will be tested. Problem is that I can't find out how I'll be tested. Urine, saliva, or blood I'm fine, but if they want to take hair then I'm straight fucked. I really need a job, been looking for about a year, so this is important to me.
Should I actually be hired there are policies and procedures in place that give me a minimum 30 days notice for random testing, so I'm not too worried about that. I've been searching for information on drug testing and NOTHING talks about hair.
