Obtaining a state license before applying for a job


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm in the midst of job hunting out of state and my significant other and I are considering a couple different states to relocate to. Several attractive job listings state they require an active state license. Of course it would be ideal to be licensed in every state I'm looking into, but its not realistic. I'm looking to relocate in 4 months or so there is still ample time to obtain a state license and I am already in the process of filing for a Colorado license. Should I wait until I get the license to apply or simply apply and let them know I'm in the process?

Always best if you have it first. Employers will gloss you over if you dont.

 

Colorado has a pretty good turnaround; when I got mine a few years back it took about 1 month.

 

 

I can second this.  We're about to repost a position with FT hours and they want the person that is already licensed.  They need the provider now, not in a month or two.
