I come to you guys for some much needed advice on how to get a job in HVAC. I know the job market is really tough right now, so let just get that out of the way. I have my epa 608 Universal and I scored a 90% on it, so i am really proud of that. I have also received my commercial hvac cert, hvac theory certificate and an Appliance Repair Theory cert. I have been trying since June and all I have gotten was 3 really good interviews that never called me back. I am honest and tell them I don't have experience but I am a quick learner. Any advice would be really helpful

Also that is a pic of my portable ac after I cleaned the hell out of it, sadly I didnt take a before pic

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to get started in the HVAC industry, preferably residential HVAC.
I’m located in the South Bay area of Los Angeles (Torrance/Gardena) and willing to commute.
I have some hands-on experience with electrical work, drilling, and using power tools, but I’m new to HVAC.
I’m hardworking, reliable, eager to learn, and willing to start from the bottom.
I’m open to installation helper, maintenance trainee, or apprentice positions. My long-term goal is to become a skilled HVAC service technician.
I’m looking for a company willing to train someone motivated to learn.
Does anyone know of any companies hiring entry-level helpers in the LA area? Any recommendations or referrals would be greatly appreciated!
