OK! I have come to the conclusion that I am going to change direction in my life. I am beginning a search for a job that I can begin doing and maybe enjoy. I am completely worn out with the automotive industry and my love for vehicles is slowly waining due to this. An automotive dealership is probably one of the most bile and depressing places to work, especially right now in this industry. I want an interesting job that I can continue to learn as it continues to change and shape. Nothing changes in a dealership, new cars same work ethics and attitude.
I have excellent communication skills and am also very talented with computers, mechanics, sales, and customer service. I have managed a crew of a half dozen employees. I have performed the duties of accounting and human resources as a small business manager/operator.
I know there is something better out there....
At the present situation I can't really go back to school. I am the bread winner, my wife is a college student. We are about to close on a house in a month (can't move jobs until). I know school will help me but it will have to wait.
I was looking into some local jobs on the job listing sites..
Marketing:
I came across some jobs that I was interested and spoke the with HR lady for
one in a direct marketing business. This company does direct marketing for Staples in the Baton rouge area and surrounding territory
www.argosacquisition.com The starting salary is weak, but They claim that most entry level guys ($30,000-$35,000) move to a manager position in about 8-12 months ($75,000-$100,000). Assuming that I catch on and perform a good job?? What do you think? I am just planning on looking into it.
Now that is just one of the jobs I was looking into I did find another that I was unable to speak with the HR lady Flash Intro Page that has a higher starting salary listed. But I am not sure what their main focus is.
I really don't have any marketing experience and not sure why I took an interest in those two companies? Maybe some of you guys can chime in on what your duties entail and what I should look for?? Or even a good entry level job that I could begin with.
