Once again thanks to everybody for your support as well as hearing your stories and such. It's always nice to know that others have been there. Misery loves company so to speak.
I've got my resume up on several websites, including a few that are specific to the HVAC field such as hvac agent. Never heard a thing from any of these sites. Been sending my cover letter/resume to HVAC companies on Craig's List even though most of them want 5 years or more experience. Have an ad up on Craig's List as well stating that I'm willing to work for very little to gain experience in this field. Went through the yellow pages and sent cover letter/resume to all the HVAC companies that had a website listed. I have done some driving to companies to hand my cover letter/resume in by person. Dressed for a potential interview of course. Want to do more of that but it's hard to do when gas prices are so high and I don't have any steady money coming in.
I think my next step is to call companies one by one out of the yellow pages and ask if they hire HVAC grads with no experience. I'll mention that I'm either willing to work for free or at minimum wage to gain experience. Haven't figured out which way I'm going to go with that yet and need to get the words down for the phone calls before doing it.
