If you have made it through the screening process and to the interview, you must have the required certifications and degrees for the job. However, most recruiters/hiring managers/interviewers only spend 6-8 seconds glancing over a candidate's CV or resume, especially if they have many applications to sort through. The interviewer wants to ensure you are a certified dementia care specialist or registered nurse and are currently authorized to work in this role. Describe what certifications and degrees you hold, where you received your training, when you obtained it, and if you are current with your continuing education hours. If the role calls for other certifications, such as CPR, First Aid, and AED, be sure to let the interviewer know you are current on those as well.
