Can I apply for this job?

What this does

It reads the words in a posting and separates three things people usually experience as one: what the job asks you to be able to do, what the employer says about screening, and what a licensing agency decides regardless of the employer.

• Reading the postingPulling out the title, schedule, location, and every stated requirement.
• Checking qualificationsEducation, experience, named skills, and any credential the posting asks for.
• Finding screening languageBackground check, criminal history, fingerprint, drug screen, bonding, clearance.
• Checking licensing rulesRoles where a licensing agency — not the employer — decides eligibility.
• Writing your next stepsWhat to ask, who can confirm it, and what to do first.
