Question about forklift certification
I recently got a job as a LTL dockworker (I start later today) but my mom has been up my ass about "lying" on my application.
Technically speaking I do have my forklift certification, I got it through a school program, it was like a 5 hour course, brief instruction, looked at a slideshow, watched some videos, and did a short driving test (it was more or less just moving an empty old pallet found at the back of the building to two different spots in an empty parking lot) but that was 2 years ago and I haven't done anything with a forklift. (The certification itself is not expired)
Now you can argue that the course was kinda sketchy, given that the actual card is just a piece of laminated paper, but still I technically did the course and learned everything I needed to learn.
Now, the job itself just simply stated "forklift operator certification" as one of the requirements, and I did explain the context of the actual certification itself, and it clearly wasn't an issue since I got the job.
Is this really a big of an issue that my mom is making it out to be? or am I going to be fine?
