As most of you may know, I'ver been out of work since early January and haven't had much luck on the job front since. Well, today I finally got a call from a dealership needing a sales manager. They want me to come in and talk to them this Friday morning. I interviewed with them a couple years ago and it came down to me and one other guy who had more import experience than me, so he got the job. It's a Mitsubishi dealership and they will be having a re-Grand Opening next month for their new showroom/building, which used to be the same company's Lincoln/Mercury lot. Anyways, how bout some good luck wishes, huh???:)

The Stang is still in the garage. Really never tried to sell it TOO hard. It's still for sale if anyone is interested, though.


Thanks for all the comments. It's appreciated, greatly.

Well, I got to the interview at 9:30 and didn't leave till almost noon. That's usually a good sign. The second guy I talked to, who I'll actually be working under, was ready to stop the interview process right then and there and hire me, but his boss has to interview 5 people or something like that. I hope to hear back from them soon. I hate having to go thru the whole weekend not knowing. That shit drives me crazy!!!!

I was called in for a second interview yesterday. I really didn't have much notice(2 hours) and when I got there, it was with the owner. Well, it didn't go very well in my eyes(even though he said I was still in the running). I wasn't mentally prepared and had no clue it would be with the owner. I told the guy that I'd be working under and he said not to worry. He said he'd spread some jam on it for me. He didn't get his way, because they are still interviewing others, too. Hopefully he has enough pull to get who he wants to work for him.

On the bright side, when I was on my way home, I got a call from another dealer. They somehow had gotten ahold of my resume and want me to come in to talk to them tommorrow morning. He said that a buddy of his had forwarded my resume to him. I'm actually more excited about this one than the other, because it's a small town dealer(Ford-Lincoln-Mercury) and they contacted me, not me them. Things happen for a reason, maybe this is where I'm supposed to be????

isnt it funny how you can wait so long hearing nothing good and then all at once here you are with 2 opportunities at once. :) when it rains it pours i guess. good luck with both of those opportunities!

Write thank you notes... Sounds cheesy, but I'll bet the other interviewees won't do it. Brings your name and face back to the forefront as they make their decision.

The interview with the FLM dealer went very well. I have a great feeling about this one. I go back Monday for a 2nd interview. He said he felt comfortable with me and I agree. He needs help and fast and I have the skills he needs. Hopefully I'll know something after Monday on both positions. Wouldn't it be funny if I was offered both?? If so, I'll most likely take the FLM even though the drive is quite longer. I just felt more comfortable with him. I like the guy I'd work under at the Mitsu lot, but not his bosses. I'll probably meet the owner of the FLM store Monday, then I'll get a better feeling on the whole situation.

Well, that's great. I hope it works out at the FLM place, then.

I can't believe I just said something in favor of Ford/Lincoln/Mercury! :eek: :D

I don't know what the hell happened with the FLM dealer. I would have put money on me nailing that job.

Anyways, I have to meet with an owner Saturday afternoon about running one of his used lots right here in town. I'd be doing it all. I'd have a 30-40 car inventory. The only bad thing is that I'd get no day off other than Sunday. Good thing is closing time is 6pm M-F and 3pm Sat. So I'd get more time with the boys and not be driving over an hour each way. It's gonna come down to the $$$.

Well, I got the job running a used car lot, right here in town. I start Monday. I'll work a week with the guy that's leaving to get acclimated. After that, it's just me, the detailer and 40-50 vehicles. I do have internet service:D and cable.

I'll actually have a place to set up an office rig. All I need is a preamp to go with the modded AMC CD8b, AMC 2100 amp or ASL Wave 20s, and the Monitor 7As, 10As or RTA 8TLs. I haven't decided which amp(s) or speakers to take in, yet. What do ya'll think???

Thanks for all your prayers and gls.:)
