Jobs that don t drug test

Do all jobs drug test? If may feel like that but in the end, it’s impossible to say what jobs drug test or what particular career area will be completely free of drug testing. But here are some of the best ideas for specific vocations that tend to provide the most opportunities for avoiding drug tests:

1. Chef—Expertly preparing great meals takes a lot of skill and creativity, but it doesn’t usually require peeing in a cup. Relatively few restaurants can spare the expense or impact on morale of testing staff for drugs or alcohol.

2. Restaurant Manager—Overseeing food, beverage, and hospitality operations is a role packed with variety. And it requires providing customers with outstanding service and dining experiences within a restaurant’s well-planned budget, which usually doesn’t leave much room for costly drug screening.

3. Accountant or Bookkeeper—Although a lot of companies test all employees or potential new hires for drugs, working in an accounting-related occupation can allow you to be your own boss and avoid such requirements. With your own business, you can choose your clients and contract out your services on your own terms.

4. Information Technology (IT) Consultant—Nearly all organizations today rely on computer systems. But sometimes they don’t have the right in-house staff to solve certain technology problems or provide advice about new projects. Self-employed IT consultants usually get to help a variety of different clients without ever having to provide urine samples to do so.

5. Audio Recording Engineer—Music studios are often fun work environments, especially since they attract a diversity of talented artists and producers. Plus, most employers in this sector care much more about your reliability and creative and technical skills than they do about what you choose to do during your off time. And it’s also possible to freelance in this vocation or even run your own studio or mobile recording service.

6. Event Planner or Wedding Consultant—Your creativity, organization, and attention to detail are what truly matter in this occupational area. What you do on your own time is usually of no concern, especially as a self-employed event specialist. What counts is helping your clients throw memorable and satisfying special events that go as smoothly as possible.

7. Computer Programmer—Many companies that have drug-screening policies don’t apply them to all departments. Oftentimes, IT staff members, such as programmers, are exempt from such policies since their jobs don’t involve putting anyone at risk of injury. But a lot of programmers also freelance their services on a client-by-client basis, so they can choose opportunities that don’t have any testing requirements.

8. Mobile Applications Developer—This type of specialized programmer is in high demand across several different industries. As a result, many organizations choose to exempt mobile app developers and similar tech pros from drug-test policies in order to make it easier to attract potential talent. A lot of app developers also work from home on a freelance basis.

9. Web Designer or Developer—Attaining the skills to build professional websites is another way to give yourself an opportunity to work in the in-demand tech sector without being subject to drug testing. Like many other tech pros, web developers and designers often choose to stay self-employed or remain very selective about the employers they work for.

10. Graphic Designer or Illustrator—It’s fairly rare for companies to require drug screening of creative professionals like designers. They tend to care a lot more about talent and your ability to collaborate and meet deadlines. Plus, graphic design and illustration are services that you can build your own business from.

11. Video Game Designer—Most companies that develop video games offer fun and progressive workplaces. And few of them test employees or job applicants for drugs. Instead, they often strive to build creative teams of designers and other professionals who are willing to experiment, share ideas, and cooperate with each other. And that requires a strong atmosphere of trust.

12. Computer Animator or Visual Effects Artist—Like video game designers, professionals in the field of 2D or 3D animation and special effects usually aren’t asked to take any drug tests. The studios they work in often prefer to maintain a spirit of openness and collaboration.

13. Film Producer—Making entertaining or informative movies or videos takes creativity, planning, organization, cooperation, and commitment. But, in most cases, it doesn’t involve having to provide samples for urine or hair follicle testing.

14. Fashion Designer—You’re unlikely to encounter much drug testing in the fashion design field. Whether you work for yourself or as part of a studio that designs clothes or accessories, the main focus is generally on creating new, distinctive, and marketable looks in time for industry fashion shows, client meetings, or other opportunities.

15. Interior Designer—Creating new looks for interior spaces can be highly enjoyable. It’s something you can do as a freelancer. And relatively few design studios ask their staff or potential employees to submit to drug screening.

16. Photographer—Most photographers are freelancers. They work for themselves and choose the clients and projects they wish to work on. But even among those who are employed as staff photographers, few are ever required to undergo substance testing.

17. Cosmetologist—Hairstylists, nail technicians, and other beauty professionals work in a field where drug tests are pretty uncommon. After all, self-employment in this service trade is very prevalent. And although some salons and other employers in the industry do have screening policies, it’s fairly easy to find ones that don’t.

18. Skin Care Specialist—Many spas and skin care clinics provide opportunities to qualified estheticians without requiring drug testing. And this part of the beauty sector also offers the chance to build your own clientele without being employed by someone else.

19. Makeup—Whether for purposes of entertainment or personal beauty, makeup artists get to have fun transforming the way other people look. And like in other creative vocations, your chances of encountering employment drug screening are relatively small compared to other career areas.

20. Dog Trainer—Dogs are extremely popular pets, but their behavior can sometimes be disruptive or dangerous. So companion animal instructors play important roles in training dogs and their owners about positive behaviors such as obedience. And they don’t typically have to worry about drug tests since they tend to be self-employed.

21. Personal Fitness Trainer—It’s very common to be your own boss in this active occupation. Plus, some gyms and fitness clubs don’t have drug-testing policies, so you may be able to find steady work in a place you enjoy without being concerned about undergoing screening.

22. Floral Designer—Can you picture being able to arrange colorful bouquets and other floral displays every day? It’s a fun vocation that brings good cheer to people. And many jobs in this field come without employer-mandated substance testing, especially those offered by independently owned flower shops.

23. Journalist—Some big media companies do test current or prospective employees for drugs. However, a lot of journalism jobs can still be attained at media organizations that have abandoned their screening policies or never had them to begin with.

24. Real Estate Agent—Most real estate agents work as independent contractors, not as employees. So they are rarely, if ever, subjected to drug testing by the agencies they are associated with. But it’s still a good idea to double-check with your state to make sure that such screening isn’t part of the licensing process.

25. Writer—There are many kinds of writers: copywriters, technical writers, screenwriters, non-fiction and creative-fiction authors, and plenty more. And since some of them are employed by organizations as staff writers, drug testing may be a reality for a few of them. But the majority of writers are self-employed and don’t have to undergo any screening.

Companies that don’t drug test

Finding a comprehensive list of companies that don’t drug test  might be impossible. Some companies that don’t drug test might prefer to stay quiet about their stance on drug testing to avoid unwanted attention or controversy. Some employers that don’t drug test like many in the tech-sector boast about not forcing employees to succumb to a drug test. Here’s trade-school.com’s list of companies that do not drug test. According to them these are the few large companies that have been mentioned by current or former employees as being places where drug testing is uncommon, doesn’t exist, or is only done for those who drive or operate heavy machinery:

• Google
• Apple
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Microsoft
• Yahoo
• Qualcom
• Starbucks
• Gap
• Whole Foods Market
• Chipotle Mexican Grill

Of course, many other employers don’t drug test. Small businesses, especially, are less likely to have drug-screening policies. And in states that have legalized marijuana, most companies within that particular industry do not drug test.

Companies that require drug testing

Without asking companies directly about their drug testing policies, it can be difficult to know for sure whether they conduct drug tests for employment. Many companies that require drug screening don’t advertise it in their job postings. You can expect drug testing for any position that involves driving, operating heavy machinery, working with cash, or performing any type of work that can be deemed dangerous. Many retailers, utility companies, warehouse facilities, factories, and casinos also drug test. The same is true for just about all government agencies and private contractors that do business with the government.
