Owners advise on interview

[Joehvac25]

I have an interview next week at our largest hvac contractor in the area. Any advise? I really need a change so I would like to make the best impression possible. Does anyone have and do's and don'ts?

[FL.HVAC]

be positive and motivated. Don't bring up money until they do.

The more you let them talk the better their impression of you. People love to talk about themselves.

Lol that's a good one!

Anything else?

[air1]

Above all else, be honest and have a positive attitude. A knowledgeable interviewer will know if you're BSing him/her. Shower, shave, brush your teeth and wear clean clothes. Research commonly asked questions asked in interviews and have prepared answers. They'll ask you "why do you want to work here?","Give us an example of a difficult situation and how you handled it.", "why should we hire you?". You get the picture. Be prepared, neat, honest, and you'll do fine.

There's research that shows that the less you talk and the more the interviewer talks the better impression they will have of you. It's no joke. If you cut them off when they are trying to say something because you're trying to impress them with how much they know they'll think you're arrogant. Ask good questions and allow them to talk about themselves and they will think you are smart. It's better to remain silent and let them think you an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt. You know what I mean. Sometimes by talking too much you can talk yourself out of a job. A skilled interviewer will give you enough rope to hang yourself.

That's good sound advise, I'm nervous because they are known for commercial work but do resi, I have mostly done resi service. I hope it all goes well and hope they feel like I'm qualified enuf.

Be confident and sell your self. Have ready a few reasons as to why they should hire you over somebody else

Research the company. Know as much as you can about them. Ask lots of open ended questions - don't ask "yes" and "no" questions. Have them prepared and take notes during the interview. Everyone is right about getting the other person to talk more. If you move forward in the process ask to talk with other employees. Can't stress knowing as much as you can about the company before you go in. Good luck!
