Oct 4, 20205 yr Hello! I applied for a NY license and have started applying for jobs. Some ask if you have a NY license. If it is pending, am I allowed to check yes? I'm assuming checking no would automatically disqualify me from the position. Thanks!

Oct 5, 20205 yr You need to click no. You do not have a current, valid license, yet. Clicking yes would be a lie, and disqualify you and possibly mark you as ineligible for hire. I am also reading that NY is taking some time to get their licenses done (2+ months). So, you would not be able to work, without a valid license. So, cannot even be sure of a start date.
Oct 5, 20205 yr Author So do you think it's better to just not apply anywhere until my license is approved? I'm moving from DC so it's just a little tricky with the timing! I'm applying for my license by endorsement so hopefully maybe it will be a little quicker. 1 hour ago, CalicoKitty said: You need to click no. You do not have a current, valid license, yet.
