fiatslug87 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Sorry to hear that Brent. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. I really appreciated all the effort you put into helping all of us. At least you have all those rabbit feet around you, GOOD LUCK!!! :cheers:
reson46 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Sorry to hear that. Do they realize all the sales they will be losing? You guys make some nice t-shirts. Could that be expanded to bring in extra income? You know I would like some MJ shirts. :D Also, now that I live in the Pacific NW, I need to supplement my supply of long sleeved shirts and sweat shirts. :brows: Best of wishes. :thumbsup: Willy
Pete M Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Sorry to hear that. Do they realize all the sales they will be losing? They'll learn their lesson when the 20-year-old-Jeep parts start backing up on the shelves. :yes:
Silver88 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That really bites man. Things are getting pretty hairy in my industry now( steel). Fortunately our plant doesn't make auto or appliance material( coils or sheet), but commercial alloy is slowing down and Military Armor is sure to take a big hit when the Dems control the whole thing. It's going to be rough ride for a while. :dunno:
jbhill Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 dam that sux! my sister is a service writer at the local dodge dealership and everyone there took a pay cut this week. man there are a TON of autonation dealerships in ATL.
jeepdoggydogB Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Brent, I am very sorry to hear this, I come from a car dealership family and I can say with experience that you are an excellent customer service counter man. My family owns two Nissan Dealerships out west here ,and my brother is the parts manager at one. Right now business stinks everywhere, but if there is anyway we can help you believe me just ask and we will try. Joe
BLHTAZ Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Well...today was a lot of work. I had to basically make a new résumé as I have not needed one in probably 10 years then I had to compile all the info needed to make up a reference page with names, employers, phone numbers etc, etc... I finally got through all that after about 3 hours and then I started searching the job sites on the Internet, but to no avail. I went out this afternoon and hit up 3 local dealerships...got a "sorry, no openings" at the first, no response yet from the second and the third actually asked me to come in for an interview tomorrow morning :D . It is a very large Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership...just TAKE A LOOK HERE :eek: I'll post results ASAP in the morning.

Eagle Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Dunno how I missed this thread on Monday, but at least I was able to come in when it appears there may be hope on the horizon. Your knowledge of the brand and your dedication are much like that of the parts guru at my local dealership. I really hope this interview goes well for you. Good luck.
Throttle_Jockey Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Man thats one heck of a dealership I don't think there will be cut backs anytime soon Good Luck !

aemsee Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hey Brent, hope things work out. As a Chrysler employee, I am waiting for the shoe to drop. It is what it is. People don't understand why I'm not freaking out. Something always seems to come around.

xj_dummy Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear that you got laid off Brent, that sure sucks. And good luck with the interview. I wish they gave us the money instead of the damn Insurance Companys and banks. If they did that It would get the economy moving again. Damn economy. :rant:

BLHTAZ Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 This dealership is not owned by the same company so I will starting fresh if I get in. The interview went very well and I believe I have a good chance. I am waiting on the background check results right now and then I have to do the drug test which is no problem as the only "drugs" that go in my body are BL Lime and my blood pressure pills :D . The hours will suck if I get it though... 6:45 AM to 5:30 PM with a 45 minute lunch... :ack:
