Be honest: Obtain a letter from the doctor who prescribed the klonopin, (clonazepam) indicating why it is being prescribed and that it will not negatively affect your job performance. Be open with the person recruiting you.So they understand a positive test for benzodiazepines does not mean you are abusing drugs.
