Replying to Getting a Job as a Ski Tech

I'm a broke college freshman and I need a job. I want to know how hard it is to get a job as a ski tech. I don't have any real qualifications other than I work on my own and my friends skis and I highly enjoy it and can do some really strong base welds, fix topsheet chips and stuff like that. So how hard is it to get a job as a tech? Especially since I am a younger guy in this town. At my previous job I was very well liked by my supervisors, but I never asked for a letter of recommendation before I left. For that job I was actually just really lucky, my dad's boss knew some people and was able to put in a good word and set up a meeting with the hiring person, so I didn't even have to fill out an application until after I pretty much had the job. So I also don't even really know how to get a job in general.

So NS, how do I show that I can be a competent ski tech?
