"The telephone rings unceasingly and the candidate must be able to change direction and re-focus quickly." Since I did a short stint 2 years ago at PP doing vacation relief, I'd like to add 2 things: The candidate must be able to do what's in the quote AND multi task.

The 2nd thing is that the people who work at PP are very easy to get along with and the other sales people are extremely helpful. You may be working at home, but the IM system and phones allow for a super network that makes you feel like you really are a part of a group with assistance within easy reach.

I hope it's still the same, Wayne, because that would mean a lot to many applicants.

Would you consider opening an Australian desk to get 24/7 service?

Arrow I Hope I Get The Job...

Wayne

Except having your books I pretty well know nothing about the cars you listed... but I could be your North of the Border salesmen... Je parle Canadien, apparently not according to my wife . You can never please those Anglos

For reference you can check with Judy and she will confirm that I make major grammatical mistake in both English and French.

Should I win the posting, would I get some kind of major discount even though that most the customer that I would deal with would probably never come back and will start shopping at Automotio*, Verte*, *C Automotive, Germa* Auto Dismantlers, Sierra Madre Collectio* too name a few (see I did my research).

For Your Consideration

J.J.

P.S. I'm available for a face to face interview as long as It's all expense paid and full access to your latest toy Don't worry my grinding the gear days are almost over.

Can I do it from bed...so I don't have to get out of bed in the morning to make money...

In the old days I didn't even have to get out of bed in the morning to be ahead by $5000 or $10,000 by the time I woke up. ..Is the compensation for this job similar?

BTW I already do this kind of thing...on a small scale with my various spoon type of activities...

What's the pay? Enough for me to drop out of school? . I'm very intimate with the 944 and getting better with the BMW. I'm a fast learner and I know how to sound like I know what I'm talking about....


And unlike my typing I dont speak in random thoughts w/ ellipses abounding

"unceasingly"? How is this better than incessantly?

Wayne, I think talking potential salary + bonus numbers might bring a better (and more focused) response.

Nice!

Perhaps in the "job requirements" you should add that he candidate
Must be able to distinguish "fact" from "opinion" re: cars.

You know what's nice about the job is that you can take it with you. So, Leland, if you get tired of CA, you can leave and take the job with you. Who on earth can say that??

I would do it again part time, but it takes a bigger commitment than that. You get your own customers who count on you.

I'd be a great candidate except that any time a customer asked about an Audi, my standard answer would be "Pshaw! You should have bought a different car! A pox upon you!"

If I'm fortunate enough to get a response from Scott, I'll be sending you an email with questions, Milt.

Hello to all of you who have sent emails to me. I am in the process now of simply collecting the resumes. I don't have any information about the salary for this position. I'll meet with Wayne later today and show him what you've sent so far.

- Scott

Not so fast mister, this job requires that you have some knowledge about Porsches.
Have you ever worked on one?
