Job Interview Questions: Do you take the drug test before the job interview?

I sent an application for a job yesterday (Nov 15 2010), and I was wondering if they call you for a drug test before calling you for an interview? I may be going to a party on Friday and if the drug test is taken before the interview, I don't want to risk losing this opportunity by drinking.

Tips to Boost Your Job Interview Confidence

Recommended Answer:
Because drug testing is an expensive corporate expenditure, companies want to be certain the candidate is qualified before administering the drug panel. Once you are notified of the testing, you typically have 24 to 36 hours to submit to blood and/or urine testing, whichever they require. Do not under any circumstances consume even a glass of wine the night before. Common corporte thinking is that if you can't even refrine from drinking before a scheduled drug test, you may have a problem controlling your alcohol consumption.
