# Basic job policy example
<a name="basic-jobs-example"></a>

This sample shows the policy statments required for a job target that's a single device to receive a job request and communicate job execution status with AWS IoT.

Replace *us-west-2:57EXAMPLE833* with your AWS Region, a colon character (:), and your 12-digit AWS account number, and then replace *uniqueThingName* with the name of the thing resource that represents the device in AWS IoT.
