Depending on the water treatment operator position you are interviewing for, carrying or obtaining the proper state certification may be either preferred or required for the job. Your interviewer needs to know if you are currently certified and if not, that you are willing to do so upon being hired.

"No, I do not currently hold any water operator certification as I'm looking to break into the field. If I'm hired for this position, I would prioritize studying for and passing the state's required written examination for certification. Can you expand upon any support that is provided to new hires that aren't yet certified?"

Samantha Brown

Prior to even applying for the water treatment operator position, you would have seen a certification as preferred or required for the job. If you do hold any certification from a state you are currently applying in, answer with an emphatic yes! If you aren't currently certified and new to the field, be sure to read up on the certification requirements and come to your interview ready to let your interviewer know that you are willing to work hard for the certification.
