[BMartin914]

After a 9 month stint of being unemployed and unable to find work in my field, I have decided to branch out, to strike out on a new path and to follow my heart.

I decided today to stop by one of the most well-respected Porsche shops in this great city and ask the owner for a job.

Being a non-pofessional mechanic myself, but displaying my eagerness wholeheartedly, his response was quite positive and he said that there will probably be enough work to warrant bringing somebody else on after the first of the year.

I am currently working on a resume for him highlighting my (DIY) mechanical abilities as well as my experience in business. If working with car guys has taught me one thing - it is that not all of them can run a business as well as they can tune a 911. I feel like my business / marketing savvy combined with my natural ability to work on and general PASSION for these cars may help me land this position.

My question for you Pelicans is: what advice (as Porsche owners, shop patrons, shop owners, shop mechanics, etc.) would you offer up to a young, dedicated, hungry-for-knowledge, ready to work HARD man that is trying to land a job at a Porsche shop and dictate his life's direction?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
