Too bad you don't need any engineers. It would have been perfect timing. :P

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 10-26-2009, 06:40 PM

Damn those are some high requirments for a sales job.
I guarantee the majority salesmen selling the cars wouldn't meet those qualifications.
I know the one's that I've worked with selling BMWs wouldn't.

Is there any way to sign this document without having Adobe pro? I guess I'll just have to wait and fax it in a few days.

your marginal cost>marginal benefit i don't know how much the wage is but i doubt its enough to outweigh the cost of you moving to cali....

JoosyJoos · 10-26-2009, 08:19 PM

True but not if I had planned on it before hand! Dun dun dun...

Well, this isn't selling cars, it's selling car parts

Bachelors degree needed for a sales position? Well that puts me out the question, even though I work down the street from your company selling car parts.

Often talent seems to be overlooked by the mediocrity that one was prejudged by their age. Having a piece of a paper that says your certified in (This field) isn't everything. Sure degree's do count for something, but in the end if you look hard enough there's some young guy or lady out there who just needs a chance and they will succeed. I hope your shops future employee's do great things with your awesome company.

lol, since when did you need a BA for a retail sales position?

Since a BA became the next HS diploma; back in the day, one with a HS diploma could go quite far, now, it's quite more difficult (not saying it's not possible).

If you weren't so far away, I'd love that bookkeeping/admin job :P

It's similar to what I do now, and similar to what I did years past.

And everyone is right, some people just love selling things (whether it be cars, car parts, or whatever).

The discounts would be very nice

Good luck finding the best candidate.

lol a high school diploma went far? it's the same then as it is now. means nothing. there just happened to be a lot more people then who had only hs diplomas. now everyone has a college degree.

as for the molecular bio majors who cant find jobs, really comes down to bad grades for them. anyone with a life science major who had anything more than a 3.0 can find a decent job, go to med school, dental school, or even pharm school.

Well, that's what I was referring to.... Since there were many who only had diplomas, it went quite far; otherwise, the majority of the people wouldn't be where they are now.
It's the opposite now though; most have a BA/BS as a minimum

SV Concepts · 10-27-2009, 11:13 AM

Guys
The reality is that we don't care about the degree so much as the skills learned while obtaining it. If you can find me another easily-verified metric that guarantees that the applicant can research, solve problems, manage his/her time, and communicate effectively, so be it. But nothing is as easy to verify, nor as sure a bet as "yes, I made it through the school of _______ at ________ university."

The honest truth is that whether you studied Bio engineering or basket weaving, you had to have developed these skills to make it on your own in academia. That's what we're trying to get at, plain and simple.

I studied underwater basket weaving. It was a harder major than arc welding, but doesn't pay as much due to the level of danger.

Ditto UC Berkeley.
Nick feels the same way about his 2 majors from USC

I have a (cute, 22 year old single female) friend who just earned her BA and is looking for a new job. I'll let her know about this, unless you prefer somebody who is active on the forums.

Does the job include any employee benefits, other than discounts? VAC/PTO? Medical?

SV Concepts · 10-27-2009, 10:03 PM

A BA huh? Tell her to apply to the accounting job, we'll definitely consider her.
No benefits unfortunately.

sorry jlevi for jacking, i had too

mpimping · 10-27-2009, 11:24 PM

I know a few people with MBA degrees that sell mortgages and yeah they are what you call losers but if you are a trader you can make a ton of money and that's sales. I think OP needs to find a college student in need of money or he's gng to find a lot of people who suck. In this economy they might be some good people but what OP needs is someone who isn't nuts and will steal or sue him and can do the job.

OP can you send me a payroll deposit so I can get the $100 bonus from Chase? I will send it back to you.
