performance car sales/service in the surrey area
Discussion
looking for a job for my missus, she is currently employed in an accountancy firm as an office junior, administration, book keeper, secretary etc. she has 3 years experience in this firm but she is undervalued and underpaid, and so is looking for a new job.
bascially she is a car nut like me, we spend our lifes following motorsport and attend many events etc and she spends most of her money on having a nice car etc. so i think she would really enjoy working in a vehicle enviroment, especially the performance sector as im sure its something she would be passionate about and enjoy her job which is obviously important.
shes just looking for a secretary, admin/accounts etc job. although a sales job would be awsome.
can anyone suggest local dealers service centres etc which she could approach.
we live in liphook surrey, and she is 24 years old.
afn porsche guildford is one i thought of off the top of my head, can any1 suggest any others that may be worth a try
many thanks

Have a chat with Adrian Blyth - http://www.adrianblyth.com/ - he may not have any offerings for you but he might be able to advise of somewhere nearby that's hiring. He's only in Grayshott so not far from you at all.
Good way to turn something you love into something you hate is to do it 9-6 every day of the week. Unless she's very pretty best leave Car sales well alone too. And FYI no high end dealers will hire her with no experience anyway.
And sod phoning up the 4-5 dealers you can think of. Get on the job sites and start looking that way. Speak to the Recruiters even.

yes i agree that getting a sales job without experience will be doubtful but you can always try lol. she is an attractive girl and im not just saying that because she is my missus lol. so will always help to get your foot in the door in a glamorous sector such as prestige vehicles.
the problem is when searching recrument sites etc, its very rare you find positions in a specialist area like this. we have been trawling the recruitment sites but there is nothing specific in the motorsport/performance vehicle sector.
But the fact she is working for Fer-orsc-ghini will make no difference to her ability to do admin/secretary work. It's nice for her to be interested in the brand. But they will get a million applications from people who want to work for them because it's flash.
I know it to be hard enough just trying to find roles within a sector like "french cars" or "SUVs" let alone tryng to get in with the handful of dealers who do sportscars.

i agree totally and like you say its most likely a sought after position for a simple enough role, so they have the pick of the bunch. but you dont get anywhere without trying!
she is of course also looking for normal jobs on recrument sites etc, but it would be nice if she could bag a job in a classy job that she really wants, rather than the same job in another accoutancy firm etc.
the main purpose of the job change is to increase her wage, at the end of the day we are both young, and both looking to buy a property etc, and the wage she is on atm working in a lucrative buisness she should be earning more than she is, i have seen the same jobs advertised paying £8k more than she is on now! so a simple job change could earn her that extra money for no extra work etc.
it would just be a bonus if at the same time as changing her work place, she could change to another more interesting sector that she is a bit more passionate about! if she cant do that, then fair enough and she will have to settle for another similar job in an office as she has now.
the problem is as we all know is that jobs are limited, and high in demand, so applying for jobs through internet sites etc, can be almost pointless due to the huge amount of applicants for such a simple job such as office secretary where experience and qualification for the job in hand is limited, how do the companys hiring choose from a choice of applicants 1000 strong, all with very similar age, sex, education and experience. in some cases i expect it almost comes down to getting rid of the rubbish, and then picking a name out of a hat lol.
