2. I can’t pass a drug test.
You know you can’t pass the test, and that means you’re going to fail. But there’s really no point in telling your interviewer that. It’s very unlikely that they will start to give you tips for passing or otherwise aid you in getting the job, so what’s the point of spilling your secret? When the drug test that you’re going to fail is mentioned, simply nod, smile and act like it’s no big deal at all. You can freak out about it in the parking lot.
Many jobs make it clear that they drug-test employees, so in the future try to make it a point to search for jobs that will not do this if you know you’re not going to pass. This will save you a lot of time and wasted interviews.
