Job Searching

So it seems like this is the thing to do now a days... I just dont know if Im happy with my jobs right now. I just emailed a couple places about car detailing. Im kind of excited, because its somthing I would really enjoy, and I would take a lot of pride in my work. I know Id be fit well for the position, so hopefully I hear back from a couple. One of them is a dealer, and I know its a lot like Jason's job, so that would be pretty cool. So Ill wait a day or two, then give them a call. Plus the hours are set in stone, so thats somthing Im looking for more than anything right now.

Uncle Sam wants you Justin!

Car detailing doesnt sound too bad, I allmost got a job doing that when I was 16 at a cadillac dealer but the a few days after I let my parents know that I wanted to do it the place got busted in a drug raid. So needless to say I didnt get to work there. It does sound like a nice job though and youll get a lot of practice for the green machine.

Like I told you, Cleaning cars and detailing them is fun. I dont do it that much where I work since im a porter and we have a detailer...but if hes busy or gone then I get to do it and it can be pretty exciting and fun.....Last week I did a 05 silver GTO that was allot of fun. Till your done and u notice its not ur car haha.

Detailing cars is fun... for a while. Its fun when you notice a difference.

I hated doing it to a car that didnt really need it, you felt like you were wasting you're time, regardless of if you're getting paid. But at least you're going to get some good experience. Good luck paar!

How much typically does detailing pay? Sounds like a minimum wage grunt job unless you're dealing with high end rides.

I think most will pay in the $7 to $8 an hour range. Like everyone else here I tried to get a job doing that before I looked anywhere else.

Some self employed guys were offering 8-12, at a dealership I would imagine it would be slightly more. Theres also places offering jobs for photography of cars to be put in ads. Ill have to throw a resume together, but I could do that also.
