Interviewed with a company for a purchasing position. The company wants to expand their used remarketing division. Their offer was ridiculously low. $1000 per month salary and 25% commission on net profits. They wanted someone with experience and a good contact list... but apparently aren't willing to pay to get access to that contact list. Friggin 3 hour drive to their main location. A two hour meeting... and that's the best they can do... It wasn't worth my time or fuel. I think I'm just gonna ride this nonsense out.

I countered their offer but they declined. I don't know how a company makes an offer like that without telling me what my budget is, what shop rate is, who handles shipping and a few other key elements that would determine how much I make.

Something surprising to me is the number of car dealerships looking for sales consultants. I search a few job sites for sales positions. The number of dealerships looking for a salesperson has increased over the last two months. The local Toyota dealer that wouldn't negotiate on their markup over MSRP is looking for someone.
