Petrol head jobs in the Midlands..

[MrMoonyMan]

Morning fellow Midlanders,

I am posting this as I am really at a loss as to where/what to do/go next.

I am a 25 year old man with a history in car sales and a real passion for cars - in particular anything older than about 10/15 years old. Although I appreciate some of the more interesting modern machinery that is about.

Although I come from a sales background I am really not keen to go back into it as I have had enough of the BS that comes with it and the current state of the market doesn't help.

I really want to start enjoying work again but am currently at a complete loss as to what to look for.

Please, any suggestions or heads up gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

What skills have you got?

[MrMoonyMan]

4 years car sales. 3 years at uni doing Advertising Marketing and PR (not quite finished yet as one module to complete) and very good people skills.

I would like to be in a position where I can manage people and hopefully make a positive impact on their lives.

I most recently worked for a Luxury car brand but was constantly frustrated by how much customer service I wasn't allowed to give.

Chris,
go back and finish your degree if you get a chance - you'll regret it if you don't. Then get yourself a job working for a marketing/PR dept for a car company.

P.S. you coming to either the NEC this weekend (classic car meet and Saab pub meet afterwards on the sat - usual WMWSOC meeting place) or Norse day at the Ace Cafe in london the weekend after?

Hello matey,

I am in the process of finishing the degree - currentley got the one bit to do but the uni have lost my original work that I need to work from!

As for this weekend I am around but 'money's too tight to mention... Although if I get to the pub afterwards I've got a rather cool mod or two to show you, been doing lots of wiring in my spare time.

Postcode is CV7 7HL.
Just off the A45 from Cov to Brum.

Should be there after 6.oo on Saturday - most welcome.

Go it alone as a car dealership, you'll get the satisfaction of running your own business and if you're customer service is as good as you sound like you want it to be then you'll get a name for yourself and take it from there?

[MrMoonyMan]

I have a dream along these lines. Need to be in a more financially viable climate first.

But yes, that is what I would love to be doing.
