    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I have a job interview tomorrow with an HVAC company, and I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. I’ve been trying to move on from my last toxic job, and this opportunity feels like a step in the right direction. I was referred to this company by my sister's boyfriend's grandfather, whose best friend used to own it. I know some basics about HVAC, like volts, and I’ve done some brazing, wired heat pumps, and handled refrigerant recovery. I'm currently in HVAC school and have just one month left. I plan to be honest with them about my experience and express my eagerness to learn their methods. This path is particularly meaningful to me because my mom encouraged me to pursue a trade before she passed away, and I’m almost there! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I've been working as a valet for the past three years while attending HVAC school. Recently, my boss has been on a power trip, cutting everyone's hours and sending out an email regarding time off requests. I had always taken time off without issues, but after requesting time off for September, I received a somewhat aggressive response. Currently, I only work 1-2 days a week, and he often asks me to come in on days I have classes, which I've done out of goodwill. However, I’m now actively job hunting for a better position in the HVAC field since I recently obtained my EPA certification. I'm really frustrated with the situation and looking for advice on how to handle my boss and this job while I search for something better.
