Hi Guys,

I'm currently looking for a career change and a couple of weeks ago, I applied for a job at a London MINI Dealer to become a MINI Sales Exec.

I had my first interview with the MINI Sales Manager which I felt went well and tomorrow (12/10/05 9am-3pm) I have an Assessment, which I understand to be a number of aptitude and personality tests to evaluate numeracy, literacy, accuracy and personality characteristics, followed by some role plays.

I've never done anything like this before so I'm looking for any advice that may be useful to me, especially if you've been through the same/similar procedure!

Many Thanks

Jase

hello jay mate

nice choice of job....but it dont pay well mate....

but in sayin that im sure u'll get the job and when you do be sure to inform us all..

[snuffy]

Good luck with the interview...don't know how you could work for MINI after all the crap you've been through, but I suppose it must be fun. If you do get the job, you'll still find out things on here first!

Good luck

Hi I bought a MINI off you 12 months ago and it's already had 2 gearboxes and now this ones bust, what you gonna do about it






ps, good luck

I too looked into this, as I know it would be something I would love and be good at, but the salary is the real killer

But your young enough Jase to get in there and work up the salary ladder in a few years


Good luck

what i normally get told when services dont liek the tone of my voice when dealing with them.
they say..

i'll find out and call you back or speak to mini uk




But my piece of advice is.. the mini sells on its own your there just to do the paper work.
beleive me this is true.
just when i bought my car.

i saw it...
sat in it..
(by pure chance he was a new sales man starting that day)
he's like do you like it..im like yes. and i'll ahve it provided you knockof 500 ntoes and put bonnet stripes on it..

he was garsping for breathe.

i guess it was just under 5 minutes after seeina nd sittin in the car when we struck a deal

i prob guess its prob the fastest car he has ever sold

i tend to agree.. the job is great and lieke veryone on this site we're so addicted to are minis and know so much about them but its the wage at the end of the week/month which is a killer

i do truely think i would be a great salesman

i feel im so good i could sell sand to the arabs.

let alone tryin to sell cars.

(if you knew me people you would defently agree and when the lads read this they will be sayin its all 100% true)

Yeah also heard the pay was somewhat poor, but am sure you will soon climb the ladder with your insider knowledge here on M2 ...best of look

Hey guys,

Thanks for your replies. It seems like we have a lot in common nanoooo!

I've been running my own telecoms company for a few years now and I have revenue coming in from telecoms carriers every month without doing any work.

I've also been doing web design but for the last few months I haven't had much to do so I have the time on my hands to get a full time job doing something I can do well (hopefully) and enjoy.

I'm also sick of working at home!

im sure sellin minis would be so much better than working at home.

even better if your selling it to a young blonde or brunett(possibly wearin a really shrot belt)
