well folks, carnival cruises specials by now you have probably heard that Kevin O'Malley carnival cruises specials and Mike Casey have come back into the industry, for those of us who have been around a long time, it's good news. They are opening schools all over the country, and I believe their reputations speak for themselves. Yes they have co-joined with ASHI , I believe they will do an excellent job of training new inspectors. Kevin started me on my path years ago! We are working on a school for NY as we speak. I will be sure to give equal time to all associations, as I have been a member of all of them at one time or another, and I will be sure to let them know about the fantastic resources here, just as I have done in the past. Here is the ASHI school locations and schedules.
I had to go to a school to get 128 hours of so called pre-licensing/in-field training/modules to get my license. They set up components and go over hands on in a class room environment and at the end of the day let you go run around a pos hud home about to fall down and say go add it. You got 10 to 15 other people running around with ya. Complete mess. Then when its all over, they pump you up and say go inspect. I knew coming out I needed more and joined NACHI . Did over 30 more mocks before I felt good enough within myself to start getting paid.
As I've said before. I've received more calls this year Hi, I'm a new inspector in your area and just spent every last dime I have to get in on the Home Inspection money Can you help me? The instructor said it's a courtesy carnival cruises specials to drive me around and train me
I'll usually ask What's your background? Where was your last job? And after I'm told they had an unrelated job in the past, and definitely lacking general construction backgrounds, I'll generally just be polite and brush them off. But sometimes I've said honestly, you have little or no chance of making big money in your first year in this business, let alone surviving the next 5 , keep your expectations realistic and you'll do OK.
Honestly, most people getting into this profession carnival cruises specials should ease into it. And do LOTS of mock inspections. The funny one is when they call me and tell me they are taking their test for a License (we don't have licensing in CA).
The reason I am somewhat passionate carnival cruises specials is that there is such a large differentiation between a quality service and that of an inexperienced/new inspector. This difference is generally unknown to a client/buyer and a poor service ends up making those of us who provide a quality service look bad.
When a client calls do you say My fee is $300 for your inspection, but by the way I have less than a year of inspection experience and was in Sales (or some other Non-construction carnival cruises specials related business) prior to this ??? Doubt it!
It's not too hard to imagine someone saying A Home Inspection.... save your money, carnival cruises specials I hired someone and they didn't tell us about XXXXX and it cost me a lot of money Nothing is farther from the truth, but bad news spreads faster than good news.
