    I hear what you're saying about Haynes. They can be sticklers for experience as they have so many premium accounts they cannot afford many learning mistakes. They do have their own school and have 2-3 classes per week in everything from BAS to Chillers to brazing. If you could work through your first year and show them you want to learn, always show up, and take care of the customer the sky is the limit with them. Most of their sales guys making well into 6 figures started as techs who moved up over the years.

    I must have a good looking resume and be able to back it up in the interview. I applied for positions in 4 companies, had interviews with 3 of them and got an offer from all those 3. The last company called me back after I had already made my decision so it was 4 out of 4 wanted to interview. Haynes offered me a position at $3-$5 less than the others but I saw the potential for progress. I was able to get a second offer a little closer and decided to make the jump. Today was my first day and so far the people seem great to work with. There is no limit to what can be accomplished with the right attitude and the willingness to work hard to achieve your goals.

    Awesome

    Companies are desperate for help. If you have your basic hvac skills you have a job. It's going to get more extreme in the next 10 years. Huge skill vacuum in the trades!
