About this role.
CourseCareers is seeking an experienced HVAC professional to lead a one-hour live workshop each month and optionally provide individual career coaching to aspiring HVAC workers. The coach will share practical guidance on entry-level roles, apprenticeships, EPA 608 certification, and job-search expectations. This is a flexible part-time opportunity rather than a traditional guaranteed-income position, with a guaranteed workshop payment and optional earnings from student coaching. Success depends on credible field experience, clear teaching, and the ability to independently engage and mentor career changers. Evening availability, especially Tuesday through Thursday, is preferred.

Sample interview questions
I would begin with a concise overview of the HVAC career landscape, then explain common entry-level roles, realistic first-year expectations, and the value of apprenticeships and EPA 608 certification. I would reserve time for practical job-search advice and a structured Q&A so students leave with specific next steps.
I use clear examples of the equipment, work environments, schedules, and typical career paths in each segment. I also explain that entry-level opportunities vary by local market, helping students evaluate which path matches their interests, physical requirements, and long-term goals.
I would recommend building foundational knowledge, pursuing applicable training and EPA 608 certification where appropriate, researching local apprenticeships, and tailoring a resume around transferable skills such as safety awareness, customer service, mechanical aptitude, and reliability. I would emphasize applying consistently while continuing to learn.
I would combine short teaching segments with polls, real job-site examples, guided questions, and time for scenario-based discussion. I would avoid jargon or explain it clearly, while offering more advanced context during Q&A for students who already have some trade exposure.
I would clearly explain what coaching includes, set expectations on availability and communication, and provide actionable guidance without promising placement or employment outcomes. I would keep the discussion student-focused, document agreed next steps, and respect CourseCareers' workshop and coaching processes.
