Also $14 x 40hrs p/wk= $560 x 52wks= $29,120 annual base pay then the incentives, which will vary month to month, take you up from there. At least there is decent potential.

Again,.....you don't even know.

It's almost like it was pre-ordained in some weird parallel universe thing.

The recently graduated Mechanical Engineer that we just hired in our Engineering Dept needs instruction on how to wipe his own azz......seriously, there is a huge disconnect between the classroom and real world EXPERIENCE. Some college grads are arrogant and think they have a right to a job because they completed college. You understand that a job is a reward that's earned every day you show up.

Best of luck.
Click to expand...

I'll try to not get on my soapbox...I'll just say that I'm an engineer and I probably learned most of what I know through job experience. I still have tons to learn relative to the really experienced guys here. I'm ok with new grads taking a while to learn how to do things properly because I went through the same thing. What I do have a problem with is new grads that come in and think they know how to do my job better than I. I think we all agree there is a disconnect between academics and the real world. That's why I constantly stress to engineering students the importance of internships to see what real engineering is like and a willingness to learn from the people who have actually worked in the industry.

Sorry Mike...don't mean to derail your thread.

madmike1157 said:
Well,.....I'm back.
One down,.....One more to go.
The interview was completely w/o incident. It was almost like i was hired before I even got there. I met everybody that could be called "decision makers" and they gave me a final exam.

I have to present a 328i on Monday.
Not as a salesman per se', but actually more like a talking brochure to an interested prospect. I have all weekend to study, and practice for this. I'm completely confident that I'll do great.
It is the only thing between me and the job.

It's considered entry level, and its an hourly wage. Based on a 40 hour week ( with no overtime permitted) there is an additional incentive that floats up or down depending on the CSI scores the dealership gets from the customer.
( All of the dealerships live or die based on the consumer survey index now days.)
The base is 14.00 hr, the incentive could add as much as another 13.00hr. to that. I don't know about you guys,...but entry level, and the potential to make between 45,000-56,000 ( salary plus "average" monthly incentives based on what the previous Genius made last year) Doesn't sound to "entry level" to me.
I'd have to work every Saturday but would still have one day a week, and Sunday off. The dealership closes at 7:30PM on weekdays, and 6:00 PM on Sat..

How hard is that?

I'm soo getting this job.

That's awesome news Mike! Good luck with the test!

Oh, uhhhhhh, duhhhh. Somehow, I errored in my ways. Still beautiful build on the engine Mike. Even better when I look at the whole thing.
Would you find it amazing that I tie my own shoes?
You have one hell of an imagination, which is good, but the ability to take that beyond concept really is amazing.
To return to the theme though, I don't see how you wouldn't get this job you are shooting for. Good luck brother, sorry I'm stupid, am I still considered a newb or do I have to take full blame for being a dummy?.

Hard to argue with that. Being a snooty German car, they probably shoot Spies Hecker.
