I was looking forward to the interview.
When the receptionist came out, she handed each of us a booklet and told us to answer all questions to the best of our ability.
I finally passed my test for HVAC certification. I felt foolish needing to take the test twice, but I was told that most people did. Apparently it was normal to get nervous and pull a blank when they got to the test room. Two days after taking the test for the second time, I got my grade. I found out I had aced the test. My next hurdle was to get a job. I had several interviews set up and I was nervous, but ready. I got up early and I ate a good breakfast. My wife wanted me to have something in my stomach so I didn’t get sick, or end up with a headache. I walked out the door, ready for that interview. When I got to the HVAC company, I told the receptionist I was there about the open HVAC position. She told me to take a seat and I would be called when it was my turn. I looked in the room where she directed me, and there were three of the guys I went to school with. My heart fell and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to sit here for very long. When the receptionist came out, she handed each of us a booklet and told us to answer all questions to the best of our ability. I was surprised to see that it was a test almost exactly like that I had to take for my HVAC certification. I quickly answered every question and handed her back the packet. I may not get the job, but I knew I would get one soon. I was a good HVAC technician.
