11. We require all candidates to submit to a pre-employment drug screen. Will you have an issue passing the drug screen?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewer advises you of their pre-employment drug screen and asks if you'll pass to decide if they want to continue with you in the hiring process. DaVita invests a lot of money in hiring employees, and they want to avoid sending you for a drug test if you will not pass.

Focus Your Answer On
As with any interview question, 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.
