They called me yesterday about my resume and said they want me to call back today at around noon to talk to a certain person there. Maybe my luck is changing in more than one way.

Still haven't hunted the site again yet due to an interview I went in for today at the HVAC company. It was right at 2PM, so I didn't want to go before the interview and just get into the zone and have to leave, and after the interview I had some errands to run and wanted to surf the net. I'm going to hit the place again and grid some more tomorrow morning.
But, also wanted to say that I knocked that interview out of the park. I'm not one to be nervous at interviews and usually do pretty well, but today I seemed to be really on my game even more. I had all the right answers to his questions. I raised a few relevent points on my own that seemed perfect things that he might want to know on the topic at hand, and so on. No, I didn't talk his ears off. I may type a lot on the net but in person I pretty much keep my mouth shut most of the time. Besides, I read that it's very important to listen as much as you talk in an interview, so I made sure he had nothing else to say before I brought up a thing or two here and there that I figured he'd want to hear about in various respects. He was very interested in my prior experience as a business owner in terms of customer interaction and satisfaction, as that's one of the key points to being a good HVAC tech. He seemed more interested in stuff like that than any actual technical knowledge I had about HVAC repair. Seems logical to me, because they know they need to teach an HVAC school grade with no experience a lot in the field on technical stuff. It's the customer relations thing that can be hard to teach to people. Some people just don't make for good salesmen. By my high grades he looked over from the school I'm sure he was confident I could learn the technical stuff they'd be teaching me. He wanted to know how my human skills were, and I think I hit a grand slam out of the park on that aspect as all others in that interview. I don't like to blow my own horn but I'm just sort'a shocked at how well it seemed to go on my end. None of that blank stare stuff when they ask you a question and you're not sure how to answer it. Here's hoping I get this job...
