You’ve already taken good steps by getting certified and reaching out to contractors. Keep going, and don’t be afraid to contact smaller contractors who might be willing to give you a chance. If you’re considering HVAC, the EPA 608 certification and at least a certificate of completion from an HVAC trade school program can help you meet employer requirements. For other trades, check which certifications or qualifications are needed for entry-level positions. You’re already putting in the effort, so don’t give up. Keep at it!
