Interview help?

[hconnolly1]

Was wondering if anyone could help me out a little here where possible. I have an interview for an Apprentice Service Repair Engineer with Worcester Bosch and don't really know what to expect with it. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a little.

Is it just the boiler side or will you be working across the whole range ? Do you know what their product range is ? What renewable / green products do they offer? What is the company history etc. Know thy enemy (or in this case your possible future employer).
Good luck !!

This is copy and pasted from the actual Application Vacancy.

"The successful candidate will be completing general gas maintenance such as central heating, energy efficiency, heat pumps, renewable heat. Natural Gas & LPG - Liquid Petroleum Gas. Combustion tester, boilers and systems. Photovoltaic and solar panels."

Cheers for any help mate.

Do you know what all the ones in bold are ? (as well as the others) Why do you think you will be suited to both the plumbing & electrical work, what skills do you think will be required to be a good engineer in this role ? Start finding out & writing it all down.

If you haven't already, have a really good read of their website, product catalogues etc. Know their product range (as Chris has already suggested above), and have some intelligent questions ready about where they see themselves going in the next 5, 10, 25 years - what products will they be pushing. For that matter, you have some answers ready, as well - where do you see the industry going? With the oil supply running out, how do you think the heating industry will have to change?
