Job interview Q's *urgent* Thu, 27 November 2003 06:19 Go to next message
Ive got an interview tomorrow as a Service - Spare parts Advisor for a new car dealership, while ive never done anything like this before i have a large knowledge of parts, vehicles and so forth, I explained this to the Employer on the telephone and he was keen for me to come along for an interview.

Now for those who know about the position, can they give me any tips, stuff to talk about and so forth?

I really want the position and there fore i want to outline the fact that i Do acctusally know all about cars, parts and so forth, even tho im not qualified in any fields in that area.

Don't forget to go armed with some answers to the usual general interest questions like;
Where do you see yourself in X years time? (for f**ks sake don't say "your job" coz they'll think you're an idiot) Mention the sort of responsibilities/skills you'd like to posess.
What interests do you have (other than cars)?
How do you view customer service and what factors are critical in delivering good service? (mention internal and external customers here for a bonus point)!!
Why would you make a good Spare parts person?
etc etc.

They are all old and cliched, but you'd be amazed how often people (esp blokes) don't think about this stuff before an interview, and sit there slack jawed whilst scrambling for an answer. Confused

Also claim to be interested in further study, tafe training courses, computer skills etc. Give examples of the courses you've done and are planning to do. This always looks good in an interview.

Good Luck with the job too! Smile

DEFINATELY, don't ask the guy if he has a daughter of legal carnal age, and when he says no regardless, come back with "Well we'll just keep that between the two of us!"


Seriously, I'd tame down the "I know modified cars backwards" routine to a more appropriate "I have a vast knowledge of relavent subject matter" - how many times have you felt like the loner in the spare parts department of a dealership when you say the part you're after is for a modified car, or to be modified (every fucken time I ask for 3TGTE parts!!!).
