[QUOTE="Gringo185, post: 14200124, member: 42351"] Obviously when you're fresh out of school, humility is the name of the game. If you come in to an interview, say "I've got these credentials, but little to no experience. I'm willing to start at the bottom and am excited about getting some experience." they are much more likely to take you serious. On the other hand, if you walk in with a chip on you shoulder and lead off with "Listen, even though I've got significantly less experience, I've got more credentials than that guy over in that bay. Therefore I expect to get paid the same or greater." of course they aren't going to spend too much time considering your application. The fact is, experience can't be bought. Knowledge however, can. And for guys that have the funds (GI Bill, savings, willingness to apply for loans), a year and a half at school is a cost that they are willing to spend for a leg up on the competition. You're right, 9 times out of 10, the guy with 10 years experience is going to get the job over the new guy with credentials. But that is not really the demographic that you're being compared to as a newcomer. It's the guy with roughly the same experience and no credentials or training. If the dealership can see a greater value in not having to teach you from square 1 and/or pay to send you to school, there is a very good chance that you are the one they are going to consider first. Care to elaborate? Nobody said anything about losing you GI Bill during breaks. It's the BAH that is pro-rated. [/QUOTE]
