Refrigeration Technician Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
Before you judge, I can deal with people, but I'm looking into trade skills since normal college classes just aren't for me. Like I said, I can deal with people, but I'd prefer a job where I do work without being bothered with civilians, I put a lot of effort as an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart and it was easy, but here and then you get those jerks that be rude cause they can't find something. I felt bad for how bad some of the customers treated the cashiers. IDK, it could just be that retail jobs aren't for me. Another thing is, in some ways, I kinda know what I want to do (Mostly interested in Welding), but then again, I sorta don't know what I want to do with my life. Don't bother saying Military, cause truthfully Military is out of question, got med discharged from ARMY cause I needed a waiver for high arches on my feet (Pes Cavus), so now I have to wait like 2 years to reenlist and I still might not be able to join with the way the military is down sizing and the way the economy is going hurts my chances. (MEPS fault for not telling me that I needed a waiver) I was looking at Plumbing, Electrician, different types of mechanics from Elevator Mechanic, Refrigeration Mechanic, few technician jobs, and welding. I've been doing a lot of research on Welding, my college does Stick and TIG welding classes and I was recommended to do and get certified for both. I was told to join a union, then again I was told not to join a union, but I was told if I join a union, I'd get free training and then get a job working with the union. I want a good description of any mechanic, electrician, technician, welder, or any job that I listed above that are in high demand, so I can do some research and see if I'd be interested. I might like any skilled labor jobs honestly, it could just be that I dislike retail jobs.

I'm currently in australia on a working holiday and I haven't struggled to find a job in every city I've been to. My next stop I'm thinking Toronto or Vancouver. I'm a commercial air con technician, but I don't have the qualification (this hasn't seemed to be much of a problem in Australia) I'm looking to do this or unskilled labour work etc. Will I struggle to find a job in Canada?
