Morning all,

I've got an interview at 2pm with stratstone bmw today

Haven't had an interview in 3 years though and kinda pooping myself a bit, any pointers at all?

Its for a sales job, which would have technically been my brother old job however he moved to be a business manager at a bigger stratstone.

You WILL get the job.. These places are taking next to no risk giving you a shot. The worst that can happen is you sell some cars for them even if your crap and they have made money out of you.

The sale of cars it mainly selling cars to the public and people who come in? Non financing, that goes through someone else.

Don't tell them they own Mercedes I rather cleverly did this at an interview at the Mini plant

Moment of madness I'll never forget

Just been, all went well, its selling new cars on the BMW side, not mini. However they are employing for both I believe.

I think it helped that my family know the mangers etc there from my dad buying several cars from there...

Saying that, all my jobs I've had my dad knows people there and I've got the job
