  • Technical ability is not everything. Your attitude towards your team members, other employees in the organization and the company’s customers is just as important. We have seen too many highly capable technicians with a poor attitude. They have failed to reach anywhere with this attitude.
  • Don’t stop learning. You may thing you know a lot, but in truth you have a long way to go. We know this. We have travelled the world and seen many air conditioning technicians all around the world. You have a lot to learn – be open to learning.
Qualification and Abilities
