Question for the repair pros
I am starting my first full time repair position, and I don't want to go in looking like an unprepared ass. So I figure I'll go to the senior mechanics to ask -
Are there any videos you show your new hires?
What has a tech done that left you impressed?
What has a tech done to make you wonder if there's a brain in there?
Is there a minimum experience or knowledge you look for before hiring a new mechanic?
Or any other advice you'd like to shed light on, I'm all ears.
For my instance specifically - I have experience in start ups - So installing salt cells, temp sensors, low voltage connecting, actuator programming, automation programming. I've also been a pool cleaner since 2012, so I'd like to think I have a well rounded knowledge of system functions and troubleshooting skills. Really minimal experience even watching heaters installed, or pumps installed, motors replaced, etc, and I realize that is the majority of the repair side, so I'm a little nervous.
Thanks for anything you have to add!
