Hello, i'm new to the forums so I just want to say that i'm quite nervous when I hear stories of negativity that come from HVAC personnel. I recently received my diploma for HVAC technology from WyoTech in Long Beach, California. Yeah, I know... about 10k for school but hey, prior to this... I didn't know diddly-squat (lol flanders...) anyway... I'm a confident/positive type of dude that believes my potential and dedication is infinite. So my philosophy in the end is if you got the right attitude and are a genuinely good person, good things happen. Yeah the world isn't perfect and business can be cut-throat sometimes, but that doesn't mean the sky is going to fall. HARD WORK pays off.
Then again, this is coming from a guy that hasn't worked a day in the field! I only got my education but i'm ready to work! Besides all that, i'm getting the impression that even though I spent 9 months learning the trade and excellent training, it's not going to matter? I hope not. SHEESH! Anyone want to give me any advice? Where to start? What to look for? My school gave me allll sorts of tools too... i'm just looking to start gaining experience. Should I make business cards? So far my game plan is to send out resumes and get hired. Anything motivational would be greatly appreciated. I got big dreams and aspirations for me and my family, as do a lot of you! So let's help each other out!
