The Beginning of the Year
With the year 2004 almost behind us it is a good idea for all of us to find some worth wild aims and goals to commit to for the year 2005. For corporations the new year brings new budgets and new corporate policy. Many times this means new drug testing policy and guidelines, and the money to fund drug testing programs. Since it is well know by the HR people that the holidays is the time most likely time for a person to participate in recreational drug use it is doubly important for the person faced with a drug testing situation to be prepared during this very critical period.
Here are a list of reasons why a corporation would want to drug test shortly after the 1st of the year:
1) Insurance requirements may require corporations to drug test their employees.
2) The corporation wants to lay off people, but wants to use a positive drug test as the reason so they will not have to pay any benefits.
3) A new Random Drug Testing program has been implemented in the corporation and it starts after the first of the year. Before drug testing was only required during preemployment.
Whatever the reason is it is very critical for YOU - the employee to be prepared for any drug testing situation that might arise. I say this in very strong terms as I have seen it time and time again that a person is not prepared for his/her drug test and they come to us seeking help for a drug test they have already taken.
I want to make it very clear to all the people that rely on TESTCLEAR products that we can not help you after you have TESTED POSITIVE. You must be prepared at all times, and being prepared in a job situation means that you should have the Powdered Urine Kit on hand just in case.

Merry Christmas - From Testclear
I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas on this 24th of December. And remember if you partake in some extra holiday celebration to take the necessary steps to protect yourself just in case your number gets called.
The best way to beat a drug test is by having a game gameplan.
Happy Holidays.

An Introduction from a Drug Testing Adviser
First, I want to welcome you to the Testclear Blog. Since Blogs are becoming a way of communicating with people I only thought it would be appropriate that we start one focusing on what it is like being a Drug Testing Adviser to tens of thousands of people all over the world.
Many people think what we do here is politically incorrect but this Blog will give me an opportunity to help those people see, "The other side of the barn" so to speak. If you are one those that believe that everyone should be drug tested then I am sure there will be some good debate here.
But I am hoping that I can at least garner your attention for a short while and explain to you that all drug testing is political, and examining a person's bodily fluids to determine whether they can do a job is something straight out of George Orwell's, "1984". We spend a good of our life going to school and then attending a trade school or college. We obtain degrees and certification in hopes of becoming qualify to be a productive member of society by having a job and paying taxes and living our lives as we see fit.
Many people are led to believe that only the darkest elements of society need our services, but that simply is not the case. I talk to people all the time who are raising a family, making mortgage payments, and participating in the American Dream. And then they are faced with risking it all because of a society invention called, "The Drug Test".
The battle cry for 'Drug Testing' began in the name of safety. No one wants to ride in airplane whose pilot is on drugs, but the fact of the matter is that even the cashier that works at Wal-mart is being drug tested, and that marijuana can be detected up to 90 days. Now something is very fishy here, and we should not be terminating a person's employment for something done 90 days ago.
Most people would be very surprised of the wide array of people that we have helped with our products which includes Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and even an Oscar winner. However, the majority of people are hard working people such as yourself.
