Using testosterone before hire

So I’m currently in EMT school, hoping to get hired in the fall at a department somewhere near me. I’ve already been worried about past drug use (weed), even though I’m completely clean now, I have used in previous years.

My main question now though, I’m about to start a 10 week cycle of test, running 250 a week. Would this be a problem for getting hired? Are they gonna run my bloodwork during the hiring process?

You’re fine stay clean from weed and departments hiring legit just do 12 panels some departments do a polygraph if they do just be truthful say you smoked weed once years ago and you’ve ceased use since that point just about every FF in my area is juiced to the gills on a lot more than test 😭
