Drug screening and background check for new employees

Academia? Ha.

Unless you're a full fledged FT tenured professor its like a part time consulting job.

Try getting to that FT level.... is like a needle in a haystack!

 

Merck is full of bums. Those waiting to get fired and those newly hired who are looking for another job. Newly hired usually get pissed when they realize they are doing all the work and cannot ever collect the same pension the bums will get.

 

Dumb remarks.

Bums? Newly hired doing all the work? Kids not collecting pension like the "bum" other reps?

You is one wacky dude... what u smokin'?
Most people here are hangin' on to dare jobs like it's the end all, be all...

 

I wanted to know if Merck calls or emails references for pre-hire.

 

Is Merck still conducting urine drug tests? Or, have they switched to hair tests? Not everyone is a drug addict. Some people have true medical issues in which medical marijuana was prescribed for a short amount of time.

 

Medical Marijuana ? You stoned out slacker, you're already looking for excuses before you're hired ? Colorado and San Fransicko are the bowels of the USA

 

It sounds like you are an uneducated loser and troll. Apparently, you have never heard of people on chemotherapy using cannabis to help with nausea and pain.

 

they do urine tests. You can buy the same dip stick tests on amazon to test yourself prior. Just quit for 2-3 weeks and your fine.

No one does hair tests. That's a myth and plus they would lose so many good prospective employees.

 

It's a semen test. You just need to spit in the cup.

 

Will Kite Pharma not hire you if you test positive for marijuana?

 

If you test positive for any illegal drug you will not be hired.
If on the background check any illegal record found you will not be hired.
DUI you will not be hired.
Credit problem you will not be hired.

 

Update - it is anal probe now.

 

Well, let's see. Merck hired 12 people in 2017. They steamrolled about 1200 out of the company. Yeah, this is a dumbass of a thread.

 

Funny Shit!

 

They are still currently doing urine tests. Even for temps.

 

my question is how invasive are they (their on site sac testing) Like do they stand there and watch? Or is it like concentra where you go in the bathroom and they just make sure you are not being shady??

 

how about you just lay off the drugs for a while? Amazes me that people interviewing, looking for a job can't control themselves even though they KNOW they will be drug tested.

 

They are actually quite helpful they even hold your peepee while you peepee.

 

The question was merely as sometimes it’s hard to perform under scrutiny… and I definitely don’t need someone holding my dick when I pee … smh
