1st HVAC job part1 Resume

This is specifically geared for entry level HVAC positions. This should not be used for experienced techs or other professions as it does not apply.
The resume DOES NOT get you a job, its only a tool to assist you.
If you want to get started and learn on the job, learned online, still in school or just graduated this is for you.
DO NOT WAIT until you graduate to start looking for a job. its much much better to start while you are still in school. Its part of immersive learning, the more you are seeing hearing touching the better you will be. Applying what your learning to the field is very beneficial.
Dont wat to watch, no problem, here is the key points:
Name, address and phone number, but no pictures.
Email, (make sure its going to be appropriate for work)
Optional objective , its really dated but can be handy for entry level position's. I want to apply what I leaned to start my career off with a solid foundation. With time, skills and knowledge I want to become a lead service technician.
Keeps kills off as its misleading and takes up space. Too many people just pick skills when they dont apply. Word your skills in with previous jobs experience
Certification and Education. These can be separate or together depending on how much you have.
List schooling if any your EPA certification and any other certification you have. Also list any other learning you have or currently attending.
Job history with dates and job titles.
Under the job list any accomplishments first, and anything that can be related to HVAC. Customer service, mechanical aptitude things, hot or cold environments, overcoming challenges, working with technology, problem solving or anything else.
If you have relatable hobbies this can be valuable. Examples are things that show mechanical aptitude, working with tools, your hands, making things, repairing things. all of these can show extra value to yourself.
There is no perfect resume, every employer looks for something different. you can ask 10 people how to make a resume and get 10 different answers. it is important to note that the advice here does not apply to other jobs or experienced techs. as your kills grow what an employer is looking for will also change. this is just a starting point.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

Been in this trade going on 12 years. I can tell you this to the new techs out there or any tech wanting to go to another company, go union, work for the factory or go from residential into commercial there is no better time then right now. Companies can't recruit enough people to fulfill contracts or work that they have and are just throwing money at techs to join there teams. They don't care for experience like when i was getting in they just need warm bodies who are wanting to learn and are willing to work and honestly just show up everyday. A lot of the older techs are finally retiring and companies are struggling to fulfill those roles and its not looking any better anytime soon. The money that techs/installers will soon be able to ask due to the low supply of techs and high demand for them is gonna be ridiculous and if you are the top 10% the skies the limit. Even if there asking for 5+ years of experience apply anyway. Also you can go online and apply for local Union in your area if you wish to go that route and a recruiter will probably get ahold of you fairly quickly due to the demand. Good luck to you newbies.

I learned long ago that these days, computers check your resume and find key words that the employer is looking for. Use as many key words as you can so the employer gets notified if you're applying online

[@love2hvac]

That is true for experienced positions. This video is aimed specifically for entry level HVAC positions. At this time not many companies are paying to find entry level workers. A student with key words are automatically kicked back with lack of experience and job history. Entry level students get very discouraged applying online to jobs and they never get a response. They say "no body is hiring and I used all the key words career services said to use". I have the same student take a resume and hand deliver it to sometimes the same company, or companies not even posting positions and they have several offers. This will be changing in the next few years but at this time, entry level positions applications are "old school".

[@elgabe8444]

homie you saved my life. 70 likes aint nearly enough

[@adamedwards2435]

Your first job in this trade, you're there to learn. So don't shoot yourself in the foot asking for a big salary.

[@love2hvac]

That's correct!

[@st4r444]

You forgot cover letter

[@love2hvac]

Of all the HVAC hiring people I have talked to none of them were interested in a cover letter. For corporate positions with experience was different but entry level had little to no impact so I left it out.
