Honestly feel like this video was made for me. I work with my Dad in HVAC, finished school but just because my Dad is my boss I feel like we butt heads. I feel like I haven’t really got to experience the field yet because my Da doesn’t have patience to teach and just wants money without explaining. I need my own lane. I’m going to try out your method, thank you man.

I have been doing HVAC/Sheet metal mechanic for 33 years and all for the same small family owned company.the best way to get a chance for a job is to go in person.it shows you are serious and they get to see what you look like and handle yourself. If you are just getting into this trade don’t go to the large companies but go to a small family owned company.a lot of times they have people like myself who has been there for many years.you want to learn from someone who is going to teach you the right way to do things and putting pride in your work. I’m not saying everyone is going to be a good teacher but usually they are. If you do get a job be there at least 15 minutes early and stay off your phone. What this man has done is great advice also and I wish him the best

Wow, this was honestly just life advice in general. Doesn't even only apply to HVAC.

This is indispensable advice for so many inexperienced candidates. Subscribed because of the quality of your wisdom. Thank you for sharing & dropping knowledge.

You’re absolutely right, man. Even if you’re not working at a sales job, selling yourself in ANY industry-employer is critical to landing that position.

I’m a tech layoff, and unemployed for least 4 months. I’m done with tech and looking to HVAC as a more recession proof job. I live in Texas so AC is super important, like life itself. I love the pointers shared in this video.

AI can't fix your HVAC issues and it's a necessity and there is always work anywhere you go. I am trying to get an apprenticeship while I'm going to school for it.

Extremely helpful video, very good advice. Im only 20 years old and still have no idea what field of work I really want to invest my time into. After looking around on the internet i found a unique interest in the HVAC field. Im separating from the military soon, earlier than the initial extent of my contract. Have to move back in with my parents and am stressed on finding a way to support myself. Im glad i found this video, the insight you give on looking for availability in this career field is super helpful and i cant wait to put it into practice.

Just the videos I needed to watch went out my way to type it in!!!

Wow almost had me crying this is so inspiring thank you very much I hope to see you do big things.

Great advice and very inspirational! Thank you!

Thanks for this video it was very helpful. I kept wondering if I should interact with potential employers on a more personal level instead of just sending them a resume. Your advice really makes a lot of sense.

Very glad to hear your story, you’re right! I’m going through a season of maturity, and finding a good job to get into, I don’t have experience in HVAC, non what’s so ever, but I also don’t want to stay in a minimum wage job, watching this video encouraged me to step out and sell my self out for a better job, thank you!

I've been taking your advice for almost a year. So far I still haven't got an hvac apprenticship yet. I have taken a few night classes but I have no experience in the field, so it's hard to get a job. I've gone on interviews at 3 different HVAC places over the last year but still havent gotten hired yet. BUt I have to admit that I haven't been giving it my all, 100% of the last year. It's easy to get discouraged and stop trying for a while. It's hard to stay focused and upbeat.

Thanks for the advice man. I turn 21 this year and I’m going to start cold calling contractors to get my foot in the door.

Hey man just wondering if you had any luck? And also if you took any schooling before calling the companies?

Im hoping to get into a HVAC apprenticeship. My method was calling a technician to perform maintenance and I asked if they have an opportunity available for an apprentice. He said possibly soon by the turn of the year when some technicians retire. Wish me luck. i would really use your method too for the future.

hey what night school did you go to? Appreciate the very honest video. Looking to get my foot in the door with HVAC one step at a time. Currently working a full time job so making time for school can be a little difficult

Wait, is this only 1 out of 2 videos?? This was a fantastic video but we need way more content and updates for people on the fence about joining a trade! Hope it's been going well.

I’ve been in the healthcare field for 4 years as a certified nursing assistant/technician while working at a hospital. I thought of furthering my career, but I’ve come to the realization that it isn’t for me. I came across HVAC because I would like to work in a field that’s hands-on and not a desk job. It also sounds very rewarding, and I'm willing to learn. However, I’m not really confident I'll succeed because I'm not much of a handyman and have very little knowledge of tools…

Hello, I wanted to ask you a popular question that actually brought me to your video. What are the chances that a company would hire a basic helper with no experience and not currently enrolled in schooling for HVAC? I've been working in a warehouse the last 7 years and only have customer service skills. Is there a way I can sell myself solely based off a good work ethic and good customer service skills? Also thank you for the video and general life advice. Liked and subscribed I hope you're doing well and continue to make content!

Nice video! How much do you make a year? I know it’s personal but I’m considering entering the field and finding out from someone who is an actual HVAC than just googling is more reliable.

Good job

Thank you bro good advice. Just graduated highschool and looking to get into the industry in Long Beach. Do you think it’s a better idea to try to hop right into a apprenticeship with no experience or go to tradeschool? Also is it worth it to wait and find a union apprenticeship or start with whatever company will take me on?

That’s what im thinking. Have u figured it out ??

I went to job corps for a year i couldn’t go back to finish cause my family is important but i has somewhat hands on experience but mostly I do know what to somewhat to do I just need more training and I wanna go back but do you think that with a year of somewhat experience a hvac company would hire me I also got my 4-10 certification i don’t know if that is anything special if i did go back to school once my family is okay I can get my EPA and Nate certification as well and some other things but i’m on the edge

great advice! you couldn't have said it better! time to put on your big boy pants and start making them calls baby! wooo!!! let's go!

how do i say something to someone when i do not have tools , nor in school or just not yet at the moment but looking to enroll in one , but i do have a reliable car and on time and hard worker

When looking to be an hvac technician would I be able to do the apprenticeship without previous experience or should I get certified first?

Did you have any experience or education in the field before making these calls? I’m in my early 30s and looking to make a career change and hvac is really appealing.

do you ever think of the union

problem with this is alot of them will have a receptionist or secretaries and they wont put you through to the owner/manager

I fuck with this video heavy man

I dont know if i should join hvac tradeschool or thru an apprenticeship

This is a genuine method

Anyone heard of SkillCat? Is that a good avenue for getting NATE certified?

True

Did you end up going to school? Did this guy sponsor you to go to school? I’m just trying to figure out if you have to go to school still to become an apprentice and journeyman eventually

I went to summit 2 ✊🏼

I have experience in hvac just no hvac work experience like talking to customers

Did you go into debt when you went to college to become a hvac?

Did you gain experience of HVAC by going to a trade, college or the union? because idk which ones best.

Hey buddy how you doing.

What are the requirements to be a hvac apprentice? Great video btw

Probably to already be in school for it or already actively training for certification.

Good thing is Im conferrable with people(not a texting type) but I have no experience with hvac so your saying start with tools and calling multiple hvac companies?
