If you are looking for a way to increase your value and attractiveness in the job market, then you may want to consider taking some CPR classes. CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and knowing how to perform it properly can save lives. While it may very well be a good idea to learn the basics of CPR just as a general life skill, many jobs require that you are certified. Let’s take a look at how a CPR certification can help you in various jobs.

1. Lifeguard

This may be the first job that comes to mind when you think of a CPR expert. A lifeguard must be able to save people from drowning. When someone has partially drowned, they often have stopped breathing - and it is the job of the lifeguard to get his lungs working again. There is no better feeling than knowing that you saved a life. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, then you can get started by taking some CPR classes.

2. Personal Trainer

As part of the personal trainer certification process, you almost always need to be certified in CPR. Since your job is to push and motivate people to work hard and run faster, you might sometimes push them a bit too far. If their heart stops beating, it’ll be up to you to get it beating again. Without CPR classes, it is unlikely that you would know how to do this.

3. Babysitter

Since there’s no official babysitter certification program, it’s not required that you know how to perform CPR. However, if you want to earn some money as a babysitter, a CPR certification will put you head and shoulders above all the other candidates. When you list your babysitter online or in your local newsletter or on a restaurant bulletin board, make sure you note that you are a CPR certified babysitter. Any mother will feel much safer knowing that her children will be in good hands. She’ll also know that you take your job seriously and aren’t just another kid.

There are other jobs where CPR certification can come in handy, such as a boy scout leader or a sports coach. Sign up for CPR classes today to expand your opportunities.
