Tell them you just went to the dentist to have a tooth drilled and are taking some prescription pain killers and you need to know if that will interfere. Or maybe just ask if they test, and *if* they ask why, give that story. But really, most jobs say if they test. They're not looking to waste their time by tricking people.

That sounds suspicious, and I wouldn't recommend it.

This is true, if they think you're a good candidate and they've given you the interview and whatnot, chances are they'd have told you already if you're going to be tested. The best advice I could give you would be to lay off the drugs, drink plenty of fluids, don't mention anything about testing to the place you're applying, and keep your current job until you know for certain that you will not be drug tested.
Good luck.

If it doesnt say anything about a drug test on your application then NO! I wouldnt ask, because then they will get suspicious and give you a test! But i think only if you get injured on the job they test you, and they also like to pull RANDOM tests, but not usually right away. And of couse if all depends on were.... NEED more info, but hope this helps ya tommarrow

I would ask if they drug test, and if they ask why just say that I have pricavy problems with drug testing and wanted to know
but then again, I'm from a country where job related drug testing is unheard of, so my opinion isn't worth that much

chances are VERY good that an apprentice carpenter job wont have drug testing. If they drug tested carpenters, there would be probably be some problems.

You have to sign a release for a urine sample... If I remember correctly. You'll know before hand if you're goin to give a sample. Just relax in construction you usually only have to take a UA for an on the job injury for insurance purposes.
Some school districts require all businesses that do work for them to get a badge. The badge proves you passed a UA and a background check. But most don't because it significantly raises the cost of construction. Most in construction do drugs and it's harder to man those projects.
I got side tracked just don't worry about it. If you do have to take one, don't call and ask for the results.

there is no inconspicuous way to ask if they drug test or not. put yourself in the mind of someone that doesn't do drugs...

Just ask them when you are getting tested, like you expect it. Then you can make your decision about how important this job is, and take action from there.
