Hi Kyle,

If the company is a home performance contractor, then study up on being a contractor. Have coffee with people who either work in HP or other contracting services (think kitchen/bath remodeling, swimming pools) and ask them what helps them be successful. Interview your friends or family who have owned homes for a long time; ask them what matters most to them about the service they receive from a contractor. After doing this, now you can look the company owner in the eye and say "I know what home owners are looking for, and I can make happy customers out of them."

Okay, but if you'll only be doing energy audits, then you'll focus a little more on your passion for building science. Talk about your desire to learn a new field and help change how we use energy.

And as always, you must relate your previous experience to your prospective job duties.

Good luck!

Cory
