Has anyone been asked to provide eit certificate during hiring process?

[u/ThrowRA-Prudet4868]

I passed the exam but haven’t completed the application yet.

[u/lizardmon]

Yes, I did when I started 11 years ago and we still require it of new hires.

[u/transneptuneobj]

No, but some one might? They can check this in a license verification portal so if you haven't gotten your certificate it may be wise to not list yourself as an EIT on your resume

Some people may consider that lying.

[u/Vinca1is → u/transneptuneobj]

I mean, it is lying

[u/avd706]

No, but it's easy enough to verify.

[u/avd706]

Any submission I get, I check the state portal to see if it is active.

[u/redsoxfan2434]

Yes, there are public-sector jobs that have to be really strict about requirements

[u/likesblackcoffeebest]

Yes, that was required for the job at which I was an EIT. It's also required of those we hire at my current employer. We also verify degrees, PE licenses, and other things as relevant. 

[u/CivilFisher]

Not the paper/pdf certificate. Thats pretty useless but everyone has to give their EIT number which is added to the company database and cross referenced with the state licensing board.

[u/Adeline_Hayes]

Depends where you apply. When I was hired, consulting firms just asked if I'd passed. Public sector roles wanted the actual cert before my start date. Ask HR directly what they need, saves you the guesswork.

[u/Everythings_Magic]

Ask if require the cert or if passing the exam will suffice.

The process got a bit muddy over the years since the EIT isn’t really needed on the path to licensure.

[u/USMNT_superfan]

No. Neither have I ever had to prove I am a PE

[u/ConversationNo9040 → u/USMNT_superfan]

I bet they just look it up…

[u/Costcornucopia]

No. Most employers have access to the internet..
