Suspended from work..is this going to show on my employment records?

Hi, I was suspended from work on the basis of refusing to take a drugs test at work. I admitted to smoking cannabis over the weekend, and therefore said I refuse to take it because the outcome will come positive. My question is, will this be on my employment history, I really want to break into law, and I'm going to law school this October. I've only been with the company for a matter of two days, so I'm not going to have them as a reference for future employers. I believe this is going to stay on my employment record for a mere 9 months, is that correct? Any help would be appreciated - thank you.

Don't use them as a reference, I'd quit tbh now, consider that job fff'd.

I was fired for (among otter things) smoking weed just before work. Haha this was back in my wild days (i have since calmed down and changed dramatically now, wouldn't smoke a puff these days)

but yeah, I was doing soul destroying "chugger" work, essentially I was knocking on people's doors trying to get them to donate to charity, with my managers breathing down my neck to be a bit more "convincing" i.e guilt trip.

It was a really ****ty experience, when I was fired, I sent my old manager a text calling him a fat piece of **** and a load of other things.

I just pretend I never worked there, it was some ****ty summer job, no one is going to find out, I didn't break the law (or at least get caught).

I've since seriously "fixed up" as a person, back then I was off the rails man, but yeah, obviously wont use them as a reference, just pretend I never worked there. if I am ever confronted about it, I will flatly deny any association, there's no way anyone will find out though, sure companies keep records but there's not a single huge employer database with the in's and out's of everyones little summer jobs is there

You'll be fine

Thanks a lot for the response, it was just a summer job for me, and i just so happen to last for only two days lol, but I've told them I was going to leave anyway, and so therefore, they're going to send me a p45. I know this might sound stupid, but they have my national insurance number, if another employer checks my national insurance number, wouldn't it say I worked there, and if so, why I left?

I don't think that's how it goes. Like when I've applied for other jobs I've omitted jobs I did- if the application for was a fixed size etc. Nothing was ever mentioned of the job that I didn't mention. It's not like you have a criminal record you just got suspended.

Thank you every so much, I was really worried. I've worked so hard to be in the position I am, and for a stupid mistake ( I don't usually take drugs I did this weekend because it was my friends birthday) and for that to ruin my future.
Thanks

In this instance you are ok. But all it would take is a future possession caution by the police and you would have to declare this in your SRA "suitability test" if you chose to become a solicitor.

But the same could be said if you had been charged for drunk and disorderly.
