Observed in my country, today: Adventures in preparing for a new career that probably isn't going to go away. Testing with an independent company for state certification in a low-skill profession. You will place all personal belongings -- including handkerchief. Forget that invisible ink trick. Tissues will be provided on request -- in a locker. You will provide a valid government photo ID. You will have your photo taken on site with a webcam. You will have your left and right palm vein patterns recorded by scanning. You will be escorted to and from the test cubicle by a testing proctor. Your palm will be scanned upon each entry and exit. Or you WILL NOT test. In two years, you will re-certify. For a license to wash, perm and cut hair.
