QUESTION 24 OF 30

Are you CPR, AED, and First Aid certified?

The interviewer asks this question to see if you have the required certifications for the job. If CPR, AED, and First Aid certifications are required for the role, it should be mentioned in the job announcement. Most institutions require their Juvenile Correction Officers to have these certifications in case of an emergency.

When responding to this question, focus on telling the interviewer what certifications you possess, highlighting that they are all current. If you have copies of your certificates with you, offer them to the interviewer now.

Avoid saying you have been certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid if you have not. You also want to avoid saying your certifications are current if they have expired. Before your interview, it is best to renew any expired certificates or take courses in CPR, AED, and First Aid so you have the requirements the institution is looking for in a candidate.

"Yes, I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified through The American Heart Association. I was certified ten years ago and just renewed all certifications last month. I have copies of my certificates with me if you would like a copy for your records."
