How to Shine in Audit Jobs Interviews

Recommended Answer:
As long as you don't over imbibe so you don't end up with a hangover you should be fine. I have never been to an interview and been drug tested, that will come with an offer of employment. And there is no reason they would test you for alcohol, even if you are under 21. Just don't show up with a hangover or you won't get to that next step to even worry about it. And don't smell like a brewery.

Tips to Boost Your Job Interview Confidence

• No, it isn't a good idea to drink the day before an interview. You want to have a very good impression on yourself and for your employer. Many policies in the contract of the job you apply for say that they can always run a test of drugs/alcohol on you without warning, and by signing your name or saying "I agree", you're obliging for them to do so.
  
  I suggest you don't drink. There are other ways to relax other than to drink. This includes watching TV (your favorite TV shows if you have any), any hobby you like doing, talking to friends/family for advice on what to say and how to dress professionally for the interview. I understand that an interview can be stressful and quite intimidating, however stay "sober" until the time comes. But understand that depending on the company you're being considered for, they can ask you to take a drug and alcohol test. If you refuse though, they may not hire you or drop you out of employment.
  
  Try the above suggestions if it helps. I hope my advice helps you as well and good luck!


• 1 oz of alcohol per hour is what your body processes. 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot. If you're only having a few you should certainly be clear by then. The question is making sure you are alert, on time and ready for your interview. They won't test you on the spot. If there is a drug test, it would probably be given to you another day, at the very least, they will give you a form to take to a specific clinic and a time frame to get it done.


• you should be fine as long as you don't overdo it. your body can only hold off one beer an hour so use that to your best ability! also alcohol stays in the system for a month so be careful and drink reaponiabily and yea you should be fine as long as you don't get too crazy


• Unless you plan on having more than 15 drinks. I never heard of a job where they would drug test just for an interview anyway. Most don't even drug test when you're actually hired.


• I wouldn't chance it. Are you even old enough to drink legally?
  How are you going to get there whether if you're sober or not?


• I wouldn't recommend it. It would be better to drink after the interview.


• Yeah only 1 drink to be on the safe side tho!


• no don't drink before interview night


• hell yeah gettin f*cked up tonight will give ya a little edge tomorrow..


• Go ahead youll be fine


• I wouldn't. Try to get a good night's rest.


• you should not


• don't
