quick question

As mentioned above, go to your local Ford (or L/M) dealerships and see if they have any openings for a porter/get-ready type job. Two things, most dealerships pay per-car basis for get-ready, and a porter is a good way to work your way "up the ladder"...so to speak.

The perks are worth it alone. When you work for a dealership, you can get in good with the techs and get a lot of help working on your car. I know a few porters who started off moving cars, and ended up in parts.

I can't talk enough how much I LOVE being a Ford counterman (shop). It is great pay, awesome hours, and being I work with the techs I have free run of the shop when I need it. Granted I am 34 and have been doing this for quite some time....but any way you can get your foot in the door, especially at a young age....it is a great opportunity.

go to the dealership and ask to fill out a application and ask the front counter lady if they looking to hire any porter's they usually know if they are that's how i started when i use to work at Bay Area FORD in Houston i got to work as a body shop porter pretty sweet i got to drive a RED FORD GT and a BLACK GT500 it was pretty sweet OH go dressed nice their may be a chance you could get an interview on the spot i got hired on the spot

Thats how I did it. I worked for a ford dealership as a lube tech/apprentice, Tires plus as a lube tech, Subaru dealership as a lubetech/apprentice/porter when they needed me. Now I work for a good year as a tech. I dont know, I somtimes miss the dealership, less stressfull but its fun sometimes.

If your really into cars like mechanic/autobody go to a dealership. you work your way up the ladder then you will proabably be an apprentice of some sort. Plus you get free training and you shouldnt even have to pay for any of it. If you go to a trade school or college like wyotech,westwood,UTI for auto you will probably end up being a lube tech or porter even when you get out.

But fast food just sucks, I wasted 2 years of my life doing that and I wont ever do that again.

i'd take the stang, maybe they'll ask what's going on with it and you can say you're restoring it yourself and some of the work you've done. it'd probably impress someone there....

do you have a resume yet? thats always a good idea. even if you have no work experience, you can make one stating your goals, skills,and interests etc. so they have something if they are maybe unable to hire you on the spot.
*make sure to post it up on stangnet first and we can all spell-check it for ya! *

i've worked a pile of jobs already (cook, commercial construction, residential construction, welder, welders helper, apprentice mechanic, oil-change guy, studied road-kill for the government, epilepsy research) , and by far the best one was at a Boston pizza during my last year of high school, and for the year following. I ended up becoming a manager, but started in the kitchen (where all the fun really is!). great fun, lots of hot girls, free food and booze, and some other perks that can't be mentioned....

what about the lemonade stand?

I'm a firm supporter of child labor.

ok after school wensday this is what ill do, so what do i need to? walk in the dealership and ask if they need a car detailer? i want to go about this as profenial as possiably to do this right, there is only one ford dealer ship that is close to my house, the others are downtown and my parents dont like me being down that way due to traffic ....

also think it would be a better idea to take drive the ranger instead of the mustang there?

just dont spell on the application like you did here and you should be fine(LOL)


on another note my wife has been wanting a pool boy cold you pull of a Cuban accent and look 12 or 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked at a Gokart track. Laugh all you want, but they were flexible, started at 16 behind the register, 17 in the garage (make $10.50 an hour baby) then 18 I worked outside on the track. Worked with more or less all friends, got to hit on tons of girls, got a lot of garage experience (rebuilding motors, clutches etc), and made decent money for a 16-18 year old. Would get the day off when it rained, and had friends visit us to hang out all the time.

Find something that sells well on ebay and start selling it. Buy a worn out Foxbody and part it out. I know a guy that makes his living parting out mustangs.
