Find out how CTI Pre Employment Drug Screening is done
from:Are you in the CTI field and getting ready to get a new job? Then you should be prepared for a CTI Pre employment drug screening! For those who are not familiar with CTI, the acronym CTI means Computer-Telephony Integration.
CTI or Computer-Telephony Integration is a term used to describe computers managing telephone calls. Most people would call it computer telephony. To make things short, this is the term used for computer services that are now being used in call centers. An example of a computer telephony service is when your call is directed to the department that you want to be connected to. If you have called the technical support of your computer or any other electronic device for example, an operator will greet you and ask you to press a number for the option that meets your need. This is a perfect example of computer telephony integration.
Now that you already know what CTI means, it’s time that you learn about CTI Pre employment drug screening. Nowadays, the majority of companies have required pre employment drug screening tests before hiring applicants. The reason is because companies are getting cautious what with the number of unsavory incidents caused by drug or alcohol abuse. If you are in the field of computer telephony, you are subject to a CTI Pre employment drug screening as well. Know that there are still companies that may not require you to submit to a CTI Pre employment drug screening. However, more often than not, a CTI Pre employment drug screening is already included in the medical exam prior to employment. Below are a few things that you should know about a CTI Pre employment drug screening.
These tests or CTI Pre employment drug screening exams are being conducted in two ways. Some companies would send you to their certified laboratory while others have their instant test kits that may somewhat resemble the pregnancy test kits that are being sold in the market today. The latter is definitely cheaper than laboratory exams. However, laboratory exams are more efficient. Both methods are as accurate. However, the instant test kits sold in the market cannot be retained for further testing. Once an applicant is tested positive, it has to be retested. Instant test kits cannot handle that.
Note that drugs can stay in the system for up to 3 days. However some drugs can stay up to two weeks or more. At the same time you need to know that there are tests that can check for drugs taken within 90days. The best thing to do is to stay away from drugs.
