Do you need to have it to apply for a job? I’ve only ever needed it when actually starting a job but I’m Canadian.

I used to work at an engineering firm and one day I saw one of the engineers leave at like 2pm on a Wednesday and he was like, “Bye, see you next week!” He had been busting his ass to finish a project and already hit his 40hrs for the week.

I was a temp at the time but needless to say, I jumped at the chance when they offered me a real job.

I’m also going to need some elbow room in case I need to dodge anything.
