Not now. Our techs spend a lot of time wandering around the lot harrassing the cute sales girl.

i have an interview tomarrow. wish me luck.i dont have any qualifications for it. if you guys have anything out there let me know. that would be great. s2k community is so supporting i love it.
good luck!! I do know a few guys that are techs at dealerships so I'll definitely ask around. But yea, I dont think they're hiring right now but doesn't hurt to ask

In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out if I come across other opportunities. Its rough being jobless in this day and age.

Well, if it ever gets cold out, you can burn it for heat.


Seriously though, it's worth more down the road. You are more than likely going to have to take a more entry-level job to gain experience. Once you have experience, having the degree will help you get a higher level job.

hate to say it but I do not have an A.A. or B.A degree. ...I do have alot of Warehouse experience and about 1.5 years of automotive dealership experience. I've got pretty good computer skills. I actually Graduated from UTI and was Working for Perillo BMW and they laid me off and I haven't had any luck finding another BMW dealership that is hiring. I've Tried Toyota Dealerships since I am Also Toyota Certified, but haven't had any luck. Alot of Dealership are in a hiring freeze due to Automotive business not doing so great. so i am looking for anything that will hold me over right now till i find the right place. Thanks for all the support you guys are great
didn't realize you're in the field.

toyota of countryside is building a new dealership 1/2 mile down the road from their current location and i have seen job openings listed from them. if i remember it's for service writers and lube techs.

do you have any experience in the diesel field?
