The interviewer will ask this question if a CPR certification is a job requirement. Many Hospice Social Worker positions require current CPR certification, which will be listed on the job description. The interviewer asks this question to determine if you meet the requirements for the job.

If you are CPR certified, focus on how long you have been certified and when your certification is due to renew. If you have not been CPR certified or your certificate has expired, tell the interviewer when you will be taking a course.

Before your interview, make sure you meet all of the organization's job requirements. Avoid saying you are not CPR certified if that was noted in the job description. If you do not have CPR certification, it is best to take a course before your interview so the interviewer will not disqualify you as a candidate.

"Yes, I have been CPR certified since high school and have renewed my certification every two years. My current certificate expires next year, and I will recertify before it expires."
