QUESTION 4 OF 30

Are you CPR certified, and if so, is your certification current?

The interviewer asks this question to ensure you meet their job requirements. If the interviewer asks this question, being CPR certified must be a requirement for the position. If CPR certification is required, it will be mentioned in the job description, so you know this before applying.

If you are certified in CPR, focus on telling the interviewer how long you have been certified and when your certificate is up for renewal. If you have not been CPR certified or your certification has lapsed, assure the interviewer that you will make an appointment to take a course immediately after your interview.

Avoid saying you have CPR certification if you do not or if your certification has expired. The interviewer will want copies of all certificates and degrees, and you do not want to be found being untruthful.

"Yes, I was CPR certified 10 years ago. My certification is current for another two years because I renewed it last month."
