Warning: I ignored my old boss when he said to get the $60 OSHA 10 card, and it cost me a $22/hr warehouse job in Columbus
I figured a 10 hour online class was a waste of a Saturday until a staffing guy in Columbus glanced at my resume, said 'no card, no interview,' and handed it back to me on the spot, so has anyone else gotten turned down for a cert that sounds like a total joke?
Why do the cheapest pieces of paper always turn out to be the ones that decide everything? Same thing happens with food handler cards, CPR certs, even a notary stamp. They cost almost nothing and take a few hours, but the second you don't have one, some gatekeeper shuts the door in your face. It's a weird system where a $60 card or a two hour class means more than years of actual work. We all learn the hard way that the little stuff nobody respects is the stuff that keeps you out.
