    HELP! interview tomorrow



    evening lads,

    ive been doing transport and commercial refrigeration plus the odd air conditioning unit (nothing too involved) for 6 years and ive got a interview with mitie tomorrow but the job is only air conditioning. basically i was wondering what sort of things they will ask and weather i will be able to blag my way through it as im by no means an expert but more than capable than working on a/c units, or am i wasting my time!?

    cheers paul

    You'll probably breeze through it.

    If they need your skills then you should be OK.

    Possible questions could be about your knowledge to complying with F-Gas Regs, what is superheat?, can you fault find.

    Depending on their needs it might also include your ability to install or remove/move equipment; maybe to change a compressor.

    Knowing some of the FM firms be prepared to have many months of cleaning filters and un-blocking toilets....

    Good luck with the interview anyway.

    Can you clean floors
    can you wipe your own ass
    can you spell your own name
    can you take **** of a spotty 21 year old daddy's boy,
    if you answer yes to more than one of the above, I'm afraid to say you are over qualified

    Just tell them everything they want to know and agree with everything, the big thing is you can make real coffee.? The biggest pre requirement at 7.30 am in the morning. Double shots at midnight on a call out. Black with one sugar. Plz..
