GRADUATES: CONSIDER THE CAR BUSINESS...........

The car business is one of the greatest opportunities available with minimal barrier to entry. Before you write it off because of old stereotypes, consider these:

1) Sales or service, the car business, offers one of the highest-paying entry- level roles. 

2) You’ll develop relationship-building skills that are valuable across any industry.

3) Career opportunities are plentiful for management or even potential dealership ownership.

4) The industry is changing to accommodate more of a work-life balance.

Some Tips for Anyone Exploring How to Get Started:

1) Choose the Right Dealership with:
·        A solid reputation and strong customer loyalty 
·        A dedication to ongoing training
·        A 90-day onboarding program 
·        Plenty of long-term associates who have ascended to leadership roles.

2) Will there be a mentor provided? Many dealerships provide mentorship to help pave the way for new hires.

3) Understand and be comfortable with the pay structure. Is there a salary component for the first 90 days that allows you to focus on learning? 

4) Ask about community involvement. Employees feel proud to work for a company that gives back to the community. It is the right thing to do.

5) How do you feel walking into the dealership? Your “gut instinct” will tell you a lot about the atmosphere you may potentially work in.

The car business is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a new career path. It  rewards those  who possess a  dedication to serving others, intellectual curiosity, high integrity, and positive behavioral attributes.
