Many jobs do not do random drug tests, especially outside safety sensitive, federal contractor, and transportation industries. Jobs that typically do not do random drug testing include most office jobs like graphic designer, writer, marketing specialist, many tech jobs like software developer at private companies, freelance and self-employed work, many retail and hospitality positions unless company policy requires, creative professions like artist, musician, and many small businesses that only do pre-employment testing or no testing at all. Corporate companies in states with privacy protections may avoid random testing unless required by law. Jobs that usually do require random testing include truck drivers, airline pilots, construction workers operating heavy machinery, healthcare workers with patient safety responsibilities, federal employees, and defense contractors like Lockheed Martin. Many companies have moved away from random testing for marijuana in states where it is legal, focusing only on pre-employment or reasonable suspicion testing. To know specific employer policy, you should review handbook or ask HR, as policies vary widely by company and state law.
