Job Application/cpr First Aid

[KatDemona]

I'm sixteen and recently applied for a job at a child daycare. They want to set up and interview and they asked if i was CPR and First Aid trained. I am, but it was a long time ago and i didn't pay much attention. Are they going to ask questions about it/quiz me? if so, what do i need to know? Should i have some kind of certificate? Because i don't. I'm really nervous. Will they even ask about it? Any one who's had experience with this, please help!

Just be honest with them at the interview.

your training will be out of date probably, it needs updating every two years if you are to be a first aider..so just tell them the truth ...

Well the truth up to a point. No one will want to hire folk who doesn't pay much attention to their training. Say your training is out of date and unused for ages, don't say you aren't good at listening to instructions.

Certificates can be lost, or in my case recently, slung out by persons unknown because the company didn't give enough locker space to store everything so I had a pile of important papers under my desk because there was no better solution.

Meanwhile you could re-read the leaflets you had, and maybe refresh your memory at trusted websites.
