    Changing Careers!

    I'm super excited right now, I just got hired at our sister store as an express tech! I'm currently working for Honda in the sales department and have been for the last year and 3 months, since Jan 2012. Well, I have always had a passion for working on vehicles and becoming a Tech has always been one of my long term goals. Well, since i have been at this dealership i have been pretty much everyones side mechanic and doing a bunch of jobs on the side. The other day i was getting some parts for another employee of ours and one of our office ladies over heard it and was "like why dont you become a tech?" And i was like 'i would love too', and she was like "well Toyota is hiring.." and she sent an email to our HR manager.

    Well about half an hour later I got an email from Susan (our HR manger) and she asked if i was looking to switch. She asked for a copy of my Resume and after i sent it, she edited it and was like this is better and sent it to the Service manager at Toyota... I get a call about an hour later and had an interview on Thursday.. Well today I just got hired on full time!!

    So now I will be moving from Honda to Toyota and I will start as a Valet/Express Tech. She has me starting that way because i dont have any actual dealership experience but I will then move into full time express tech. After that, depending on performance I will then move into a full Tech and Toyota will pay for the schooling.

    My plan is to work my way up threw Toyota and eventually move to Lexus or a higher end brand.. From what I understand is a little higher pay there..

    I'm so happy right now. And the best part is I'm starting off Mon-Friday!!! I havent had Saturdays off since I was 16!!

              I would be too.

              My advice would be to learn everything you can about Toyota's hybrid technology. They're creating more and more hybrid vehicles, and it's definitely the direction the brand is going. If you can stuff your head with as much info about those things as possible, you'll have a leg up on anyone else that hasn't put in the effort. If you become a Prius master, you'll have some serious job security!

                      Sounds sweet! I did the same thing at a Toyota dealer for a good little while before becoming team leader. They're all pretty easy to work on. 5.7L tundra's and sequoia's suck. But that's about it. Our shop was pretty nice to, but the Lexus shop had air conditioning.

                      I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.
