STUDENT LOOKING FOR SUMMER 2016 JOB IN SUPERCAR INDUSTRY
Discussion
Hi piston heads,
I'm a 19 year old student very knowledgable about supercars, both modern and classic, who would love an opportunity to do some summer work in the industry, and am willing to work in any sector, long hours and low pay.
I have grown up around supercars and super bikes and have loved them since a very young age, and would love to one day end up in the business, whether it be setting up a supercar dealership of my own, or perhaps a customisation business like TechArt and Brabus (or perhaps both!)
Please email me with anything you may know or you may be able to offer, and would really appreciate anything that comes my way, and am willing to work hard and to take things seriously.
Thanks,
mtrants

Thanks for the quick reply!
I've grown up in the passenger seat of supercars for 19 years now and have grown up in a wide network of supercar owners, and this privilege has led to a certain passion and understanding, which I believe is innate. Also, my interests and experiences are with both modern cars and classic cars as well, which is important as my knowledge and understanding is not narrowed down to just the biggest and best ferrari or Lamborghini in 2014/15/16.
Similarly, I'd consider myself, as a 19 year old, very aware of the way that the social side to the supercar industry is developing, such as car spotting but more importantly supercar vlogging such as Shmee150 and SeenThroughGlass - I find this fascinating and use it as a platform for developing my supercar awareness.
Although I consider myself knowledgable currently, I am nowhere near as knowledgable as I would like to be, and therefore I believe applying for a summer intern of any sort would help me achieve this!
hope that helps and thanks very much,
Max

Why not look at the careers section on the websites of your favourite marques for starters. Prospective enquiries never hurt anyone either. Often generic careers emails addresses which you can register your interest in potential employment.
The dramatic thread title looks somewhat similar to what an adolescent version of myself wrote at a school careers meeting. Suggest thinking about what skills you have actually gained and why they would be useful to a prospective employer.
Simply because you have been lucky enough to be surrounded by such special vehicles doesn't make you any more desirable to an employer than my mate John from the boozer.
Nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. I'm sure most members of PH would like to be doing something 'supercar' related but we've had to concede defeat and now fester away in various offices up and down the land. Be realistic, even the most menial placement could be the stepping stone to something in the future.
You need to articulate and be able to state what exactly that experience growing up has given you in the way of skills, knowledge, etc. on a CV, email or letter.
Thanks very much for this, nice to see there are some on PH capable of constructive criticism. All the best.The dramatic thread title looks somewhat similar to what an adolescent version of myself wrote at a school careers meeting.

Not sure if you have found anything yet or indeed have any ideas of precisely what you want to do but I maybe have something.
I have a collection of cars that I move around in the UK and occasionally Europe to various events. It's not glamourous work and it's long hours. I will pay a competitive hourly rate and travel expenses including any hotel stays on longer trips.
Most of the time will be driving a Land Rover and trailer. If it's of interest I will need to be convinced of your ability to drive with trailer. There are a few events where I will need the car driven to, from and possibly at the event. This aspect of the work you'll need to prove that your are competent. I will leave this to my head engineer to assess.
You would also be responsible for cleaning and preparing the cars for showing.
As I said its long hours and potentially a lot of waiting around but you would get a lot of exposure to the cars and potentially some delivery driving.
If this sounds interesting please PM me. I'd recommend avoiding replying to all. That's how you avoid the trolling from all those bitter and twisted people.
If interested I will need you to meet the team next week in London as we are only a few weeks away from the Mille Miglia.

I spy spoilt child syndrome
Accusing me of spoilt child syndrome? I'm studying psychology currently at university and I can tell you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, as I have in no way displayed any signs of narcissism, grandiose behaviour or anything in any way egocentric... nice try, but you're going to have to do better than that and maybe make sure you know what these phrases mean before you start using them. Thanks.V6Pushfit said:
Oh dear
I haven't used those phrases you just did.
Thank you for the confirmation
You haven't used those phrases because you probably have no idea what they mean or how to spell them... I haven't used those phrases you just did.
Thank you for the confirmation
Anyway, to the twisted and jealous people on this forum who will only ever look at photos of supercars, thank you for your time, it's been really fun!
To those who have given constructive criticism and to the one user who I have now secured a summer job with, thanking you kindly for your time and I appreciate your words. I'm off now,

Jees you really need to address your attitude you've proved my previous point yet again.
Whose supercar have you been in? Yours? Oh apologies it was daddy's. When you have your own, bought with your own earnings then look at the stuff you've written here and you'll wince.
Be humble it will get you to places that being a spoilt arse won't
I developed a property management app for iPhone and Android and I bought myself a Ferrari F430 last year... I was 18... Regardless of what I want to do when I am older, I had the pride of buying myself that supercar and it felt amazing. Now all I want do do is go on to succeed so that I can buy myself may more, if you want to try and slam that then be my guest, all I've learnt over the years is that nothing anyone can say will stop me.Whose supercar have you been in?

And so will you if youve taken a loan to study psychology.
I've paid my own way through university regardless of my background... at 18 I developed a property management app for iPhone and Android and bought myself a Ferrari f430... This is not about how I have been brought up or what I have achieved so far, this is about a young man who has aspirations to work with the machines he loves.chilistrucker said:
Ha, ha, last year i'd have killed for something along these lines.
Enough to fight a student for
Funny you should say that - having read your profile I was 18 when I bought myself an f430, and it's a great car. People seem to think just because I'm a student I can't be taken seriously... ridiculousEnough to fight a student for

True, he'll learn a few things about how not to behave with people hopefully. Loved the psychology student bit - clueless as to how that makes his bragging look so much more pitiful.
And there's nothing more than I LOVE than driving past people in the f430 that I worked so hard to own, and the first thing they think is "Daddy did well" and I love that... because they are so wrong, and deep down I know that the only person that bought that car was ME.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
