Another job interview this time car related!
I know my local AutoZone could use some car-knowledgeable help behind the counter. Same for Advanced Auto Parts and all of the rest of them. It's gotten to the point that I dread having to go to the parts store. I want to get a set of wheel bearings and the guy (or gal) behind the counter doesn't know a crankshaft from a half-shaft. As such I have to answer 42 unrelated questions that the computer prompts them to ask so they can worm their way through the system to get to what I want. Pathetic. And a colossal waste of my valuable time. I frequently dig out the P/N on the internet and then just hand them a piece of paper with the P/N scribbled on it when I get to the store so as to by-pass the entire process. I worked the parts counter when I was in college so I know how it is on that side as well, but I'm largely unsympathetic to automotive incompetence in an automotive setting. I don't know sh*t about ladies shoes so you won't ever find me in a department store selling them; I expect the salesperson to have some degree of familiarity with the subject matter when I shop (for anything, not just auto parts) so I honestly can't figure out why some of these people are there. Enough of my rant. The point I set out to make, Kevin, was that they will be lucky to have someone with your automotive knowledge on board and will hopefully quickly recognize this and act accordingly. Good luck!
