November can be a dark and dreary month, so why not cheer yourself up with an early Christmas present by applying for one of the tempting car sales vacancies on s1jobs?
What’s that? Move into car sales when the whole world’s only thinking ahead to tinsel, mince pies and parties? Madness. Or is it?
Traditionally the deadest months on forecourts and showrooms, November and December have become some of the busiest of the year.
In fact, Christmas sales are booming as cars become the biggest, shiniest presents under the tree.
Last year new car registrations in December hit record levels when 180,000 vehicles rolled on to the road for the first time – and that came at the end of a bumper year, when sales passed the 2.6 million milestone.
So what’s getting buyers so excited?
Well just about everything from sleek sports cars, compact runarounds and chunky SUVs. But some of the biggest growth is in alternative fuel vehicles, with plug-in hybrids and pure electric models shooting up the charts.
There are lots of alternatives to choose from, including the VW-eGolf and BMWi3, but the most desirable of the lot is the Tesla Model S, a car described by Auto Express as: “Quick as a Porsche, as luxurious as a Mercedes and as eco-friendly as a Nissan Leaf.”
Lucky you, if Santa has one of those on the back of his sleigh this year.
But the best present of all is a shiny new career in Sales and to get one of these you need to go to s1jobs and check out the exciting openings at Scotland’s car dealerships.
As a result of those impressive sales figures, and no sign of any slow-down, almost all of the major operators are looking for new people.
So even if you haven’t worked in this sector before, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
There’s the chance to make some fantastic bonuses, if you hit your targets.
But to do the job justice you’ll need to be target-driven, with great people skills and have an
encyclopedic knowledge of car accessories, trims and paint finishes on all the models on offer.
As the technology changes, you can’t just get away with being a petrol head. You have to be up-to-speed with all the fuel alternatives and operating systems.
The motor industry has an exciting future ahead and there’s never been a better time to jump-start your career.
