    Hmm

    Just had one question
    When you (contractor), hire a newbie (apprentice), what is it that motivates you to keep the guy after the three month evalaution? What is it you expect the newbie to know (before hiring)?

    I'm currently going to a tech school with no prior experience in HVACR, and so I ask this question not just to get hired, but to actually keep the job.
    Your help in answering this question will be very appreciated.

    Attitude

    Attitude toward learning; customers; coworkers; equipment and inventory; vehicles; overtime; appearance; tools; codes; and the like.

    If you have a good attitude, and didn't lie on the application in any way, you are a keeper.

    Skills and technique can be taught, a good attitude and work ethic YOU have to supply to the game.

    Pilot, that sounds like a great attitude you have.
    Glad to see it.

    Wish more had the same.
