HVAC Job Outlook, 2010-2011

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration professionals should have excellent job opportunities. Employment of HVAC and Refrigeration professionals is projected to increase 28 percent during the 2008-18 decade.

In addition, more and more attention is being directed on improving indoor air quality and there is an increasing use of refrigerated equipment by a rising number of stores and gasoline stations that sell food should also create more jobs for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration technicians.

How to Prepare for Your Interview

Preparing for a job interview is serious business. You may be the ideal candidate for a particular position, but it really would not matter unless you are able to impress the interviewers first. They are going to look at your knowledge about the company and products, question you on your previous jobs, education and experience, but most importantly, they are going to pay a great deal of attention to your appearance and attitude.

Preparation

Presentation does not mean just choosing the right clothes. It starts with getting to know the organization, studying the job announcement in detail, and preparing answers to possible questions about the job, the company and the industry. Make sure you are familiar with the way to the venue beforehand, or else you will be wasting precious time on the day of the interview. Finally, dress formally and look professional. Pay attention to your accessories too and do not carry or wear anything flashy.
