For fear of jinxing myself I wasn't gonna say anything, but i'll put my superstitions aside.
After over 60 submissions,..4 bogus phone interviews (one of which was for real). One actual interview (that my wife said wasn't meant for me), I have a job interview tomorrow that I know that I would be really great at.
The Job title even fit's me to a tee.....
Genius.
Well,..there are three letters in front of that...........B.M.W.
BMW has a position that they call genius. It's a product specialist actually. This guy has to know the nuances of all of the technology on every model that BMW sells, so as to be able to explain in lay terms how that tech benefits the end user. You'd be the dealership go to for questions. sales would enlist you you to take prospective customers on test drives and demonstrate that tech to the prospect during the drive. Answer new customers questions during , and after delivery.
It is a salaried position w/ incentives. There are benefits as well, to include discounted employee demo programs.
When BMW announced this position last year, they expected that the potential employee would be a tech saavy college grad.........
Up until about right now I was ok.
Now, I'm feeling a little antsy.
Despite legalities, age discrimination is alive and well in the American job market. A job where the target potential candidate is a tech saavy recent college grad......I might find a tough crowd tomorrow.
The job required an application that required a prescreen online personality/aptitude test that took 1.5 hours to take.
I passed that.
I've already talked to the interviewer on the phone,....he asked a few questions,...I rattled off a few answers.
(evidently, he liked what I said)
It will of course be dealership retail hours,...and I'll end up working every single Saturday I'd imagine.
But,....I know I'd be great. I have to explain how to operate high end audio/video equipment to customers as part of my business. I have to make it easy to operate. I have to make it easy to understand. In reality, I'm kinda doing the BMW job already.
10:30 tomorrow is zero hour. I've already got an answer for the current battery of interview questions memorized as they pertain to me....Your biggest strength, biggest weakness, tell me about a success, tell me about a struggle,and the inevitable why should we hire you.....I just hope I don't choke, cause I really want the job.
