Pete M Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 That seems kinda spooky. What exactly will your position be after they become a used car place? :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I will still be in parts, but it will be more like working aftermarket as we will deal with all makes instead of just one. I just need somethingthat pays decent to get me through the next 17-18 months until graduation, then I can move on in to a field where there should be little worry about job security.

BLHTAZ Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 I say dump the chevy dealer... Sounds sketchy to me. I don't really see a spot for ya after the changeover. Rob L. I am going to talk to them in the morning to get a better feel for it. I will be asking some very direct questions about the situation, and if there is any hesitation at all in the responses, I will likely move on and take the long drive for now.

ejndssn Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 well lets see if i can puts this prospective "Steelers won the super bowl" and the Penguins won the Stanley cup and you got a choice jobs. You have to wonder what the future look likes for the mopar place. If you are looking for the short run then chevy (money) would be the place knowing that things will possible change. and just like WahooSteeler stated go with your gut. :cheers: :clapping: :cheers: this buds for you :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdesigns Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Brent do whatever makes you happy man.. If you think youd be happier at a online Mopar place then go that way, if youd be happier at the chevy dealer then,, go.. don't worry about what we want jeep parts. Just be happy.

BLHTAZ Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 OK...just got back from Chevy. Looks like I am going with them. I have to go at 1:00 p.m. to do my drug test and fill out the papers for a background check, so pending those, which will be no problem, I should be starting on June 30th.

dasbulliwagen Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Exactly how did Chevy put your mind at ease about their loosing the franchise and their future plans for another business? Just curious. I myslef have heard way too many "stories" about what they the dealership plan to do, just to see nothing ever happen. For your sake, I hope they are right and everything is cool. Good luck! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-establishing funding for the Comanche addiction should lead to some new mods. I can hardly wait to see more in your build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Congrats Brent, very happy for ya....knew things would pan out for you eventually. I'm not sure if you're a believer in fate, but my life experiences have taught me that everything happens for a reason. It just may take a good amount of time for you to realize what that reason was......<> :cheers: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 He went over the plans for the new dealership that will be staking the place of Chevrolet when it happens. They have a comprehensive plan in place that "should" not cause anyone to lose their jobs. I know I am taking a risk, but something about it just feels like the right thing to do. I am not such a big believer in "fate", but more so in faith. Although I am not one to spend time in a church on Sundays, I do believe in God and that he has a will, reason, and plan for my life, and what happens in it is what he intends to happen :thumbsup: . I should be working by June 30th, as the red-tape--drug test, background check--stuff takes 3-4 days to process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glundblad Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Congratulations. That must be a real relief. I must admit I am a bit disappointed that you didnt go with the mopar dealer. I am in need of some parts. I feel sorry for you though. I just got off an airplane a few hours ago from visiting Mickey Mouse. I was there for over a week. Man, your weather sucks... :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well...another twist in the saga... :shake: :doh: :rotf: I just got a call from the parts manager of a local, VERY large, Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership. I have been trying to get in to this one for a while now, and they finally want to talk to me. I am going to see them tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.. The Chevy people are taking forever to get me started, so I hope this works out with the CJD place, as it will be much better money, but longer hours too. I'll update tomorrow afternoon when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 All those that were disappointed can now be happy--I am at a Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge dealership again :banana: :banana: This is the huge dealership that I thought I was going to get in to about 8 months ago when I lost my job, but they turned me down at that time. Now they have called me again, and I am in this time. I should start working by mid- to late-week next week. Click the pic for a little dealership tour; Yes, you are seeing correctly; four storys of vehicles with between 400 and 600 in inventory most of the time.

I REALLY did not want to go to Chevy, but I was going to do what I had to. It is about 13 miles from my house--takes about 20-25 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That is an impressive looking dealership. We don't have anything like that in the Ft Wayne Indiana area. Congradulations. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
