Whether you are applying for a part-time job, a contract position or even your dream job, writing a resume is not an easy task. It is always difficult to decide what you should include and how in-depth you should be about your experiences.
A great section to have somewhere on your resume is a certification section. This looks great to an employer as it shows your interests, willing to learn and role of responsibility. This is one of the many reasons it is beneficial to have a CPR certification listed on your resume.
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is a technique used in order to restore oxygen and blood flow to vital organs in the body. Depending on which CPR course you decide to take, you can receive your certification in as little as a day.
Having a CPR certification on your resume also shows your employer that you are ready to step in to help in case of an emergency in the office.
A CPR certification is beneficial for any job type. Whether you are working in a restaurant or at a school, knowing CPR allows you to assist in an unfortunate situation until emergency services arrives. It is important, and sometimes mandatory, to have CPR informed staff at every workplace for this very reason.

That’s a good point that listing that you know CPR would make it seem to potential employers that you are able to help in an emergency. Having someone that could help to save a fellow employee’s life sounds invaluable to me, so I would want someone like that in the office. I should think about taking a CPR course so I could help people and hopefully look better to potential employers.
