If you guys or anyone else are hiring for a PT Lot Staff let me know!

Tired of emailing resume and shit to craigslist postings with no reply every single time :okay:

Well... I currently have no openings in the sales department for lot staff. These are the guys I am directly in charge of and take part in the hiring process.
However, I heard today that our service department promoted one of our service lot guys into the shop and have not replaced him yet.

So I assume we will be looking for a new service lot guy.

If you are interested and know the location of our dealership, I encourage
you to drop in and bring in your resume.

:)

you should actually be checking out the websites of the said dealerships. most have a "career" link to all open positions. most are even running programs to get resume submissions via the website. and to make it an even playing field, they even make their own employee's resubmit via the site as well if they plan on applying for other positions.

Won't be getting a job with that kind of thought.

I had to wait 8 months, of constant emailing, calling, cold-calls before I even got a job. Yet after 8 months, I had 3 interviews in the same week, so when it rains, it pours.

Keep your head up and don't stop applying man. Nobodies going to do it for you.

Having no previous work experience and being fresh outta HS probably doesnt help. Do they even hire people with N's? :okay:

Obviously you gotta work hard to find a job, but then again if theres someone that can give you a bit of help or connections im sure that it could be much easier.

Thanks, will check it out!

I'm at Burrard Acura as a service advisor at the moment.

We are looking for a female service receptionist! If anybody has any recommendations please shoot me a pm!

^ Full time or P/T? also thanks for filter yesterday <3

Anyone working at a Business Office? Interested to see how the job and wage is. :thumbs:

Been applying everywhere lately. Unfortunately, I have to settle for less as a lot attendant; I don't mind working my way up though...

It took 3 weeks to finally get something, but I'll keep applying anyways until I get one closer to my needs.

Did for a year. Ill pm you when I'm on a computer next.

You have to be motivated, submitting one resume a day and hoping people call you is not enough. When I was looking for work, I would send out at least 4 resumes a day, and put on some decent clothes and drop off resumes. The internet has kind of made people lazy in that way. Once I got an interview, the next day I sent an e-mail telling them thank you for meeting with me and I hope they choose me. Employers really like when people do the little extra.

What if I put on a wig and padded bra?

:drunk:

Just curious, was anyone from Acura at a hotel meeting today?

yeah the longer you are at a dealership, the more shit they figure out how to pile on you haha

when new people come in and ask me what i do, i just say "its easier to tell you what i dont do, sell cars"

flat rate techs are whiney 8 year olds by trade, the sooner you get over that, the sooner you figure out what makes them tick and work it to your benefit

Are the Automotive Training Centre Sales Courses at all beneficial? Will Dealerships overlook my application if that's the only course I have?
Haven't taken it yet but figured I'd ask the question first before money is wasted. Has anyone on the Forum taken any of their courses? What can I expect?

I just took the program at VCC. If you're fresh and know very little about cars, go right ahead.

But do know that it still may be hard to find a job. You're better off just starting at a dealership as a lot attendant and work your way up. That's what I'm doing now, AFTER going to school. Oh well.
:ahwow:

Bump for a job opening at what looks to be an amazing employer I wish I could work for

Does anybody know how the service department is like at autowest or brian jessel bmw? I just got calls from both of them but don't know which to choose as they are scheduled the same time..
FUAAa

for lot boy position, is able to drive manual mandatory?

Yes. If you can't drive stick how would u move manual cars around?

i remember having a lot kid before that didnt have his license yet. still helpful, but limited to what they can do.

depending on the manufactuer, some have gone away from the manual gear box. so knowing how to drive standard isnt essential. we see a manual maybe one out of every 20+ cars?

Depends on the dealer I suppose. I assume that Euro dealers short of Mercedes see a lot more manual cars in their high-volume new stock than other makes. Not a whole lot of people order base Corolla or Civics with stick these days.

its been an interesting past couple months...

got thrown out to front counter as service advisor at the current dealership i work at...

a bit rusty, but got the job done...

does anyone know the pay system of being a car salesman in Asia? Here we get 30% of the total profit of the car we sell

It is so slow/dead here being a car salesman so i might consider going over seas to try it out if I can make more $ there due to the heavy traffic you get in Asia
