OK............What's the secret.....

[starr]

to getting into the "R" in HVAC/R?

I can't get anyone one to touch me with a ten ft. pole

I have residential and a little commercial experience plus I'am just about finished with my AAS degree in hvac/r.

I would really like to get into refrigeration but no "refer" experience = no job!

I realize I would have alot to learn but, how can I get my foot in the door?

So c'mon you can tell me what's the secret?

I got into a small company that did a little of everything from residential and commercial HVAC as well as "R".

He had patience with me while learning the finer points of "R" and taught me a lot.

Just make sure you have a solid understanding of the refrigeration cycle especially subcooling and superheat.

Get to know the local contractors in your area. Hang out at the supply houses. Get the word out you are available for short term work. Once the season hits, someone will hire you.
