Key Takeaways

  • •You need a license to do certain jobs, and the boss in charge decides if you get it.
  • •The boss checks your application and might even visit where you work to make sure everything is okay.
  • •If you’ve done something really bad before, the boss might say no to your license.
  • •If everything looks good, you get the license. If not, you don’t.

Example
