After a employer offers you a job?

Question

Do they usually have all your background checks/references back? I only ask because I changed some dates on my resume. They called my references I know that. They called me and said "everything came back" we want to offer you the job contingent on a drug screen. I took the drug screen and was told someone would follow up with me. No one ever has so I don't know what happened. I am not on drugs so it is not that. How long do those tests take to come back?

Answer 1

drug tests take about 5 business days to come back, depending on the lab. then you have to have people on both ends processing the paper work. if youhavent heard back in a week from now, call back. otherwise, quit worrying and keep your options open.

Answer 2

Drug tests usually come back in a week or less.

Realize though, that if at any time in the future they stumble on the fact that you falsified your resume, they can and probably will fire you. You aren't home free on that just because they didn't find it in reference checks. And it can happen easily;
