The interviewer is transparent with you and lets you know a pre-employment drug test is required. They want to see if you will have a problem passing the drug test to determine if they should move forward in the hiring process. If you have an issue with drugs and will not pass the test, the interviewer wants to know in the interview to avoid spending more time and money on you.

Focus on being honest. If you have an issue with drugs, you must let the interviewer know now. They will find out during your background investigation and drug test and will be disappointed that you were not honest in the interview. If you do not have a problem with drugs, let the interviewer know that you do not use drugs and will not have a problem passing the drug test.

If you have an issue with drugs, it is best to avoid applying to a position that requires a drug test. Once you take care of the issue and are clean, you can apply for the position of Security Manager and feel confident you will pass the drug test.

"I do not take drugs or prescription medicine, so I will have no problem passing the drug test."

"No, I will not have a problem passing the drug test. I have never used drugs and never will. Since high school, I knew I wanted to work in the security industry. If I used drugs, I realized I would not be able to become a Security Manager. That has been a great reason not to be tempted by my peers to try an illegal drug."
