The interviewer advises you of their pre-employment drug screen and asks if you'll pass, so they can decide if they want to continue with you in the hiring process. CVS invests a lot of money in hiring employees and interns, and they want to avoid sending you for a drug test if you will not pass.

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue, ensure the interviewer that you will pass the test because you do not use drugs.

If passing a drug test will be an issue for you, it is best to wait until you are clean to apply for a CVS Pharmacy Internship. Companies require a pre-employment background investigation and drug test before working in a pharmacy position, so you must pass both to work in this profession.

"No, there will be no issue passing the drug screen. I have never tried drugs, and I can assure you I never will."
