    lol, sorry man.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put in the applications to those spots as soon as the quarter is up. I guess I could work an oil and lube place first to learn fluid changes, then move over to just brakes to learn just brakes lol, then a mom-and-pops tranny spot, etc... - then after I have a little bit of a shop experience resume I can make the next step. I never thought to do it that way - and I might actually get paid in the process lol. Thats a real good idea.

    Any tips on the resume, if the shops even ask for one. I made the mistake of giving MAADA my real resume with education and original work historry post 1st undergrad degree and it got me "barred" apparently because I spoke correct English? Should I leave my real resume out of it and drop them a fake one listing only the stuff I've done up until HS (which is basically nothing)?

    complete your resume up to high school, leave out college. if they ask tell them youve been going to school but you want a change in direction and want to work on cars...when you put your references make sure theyre good ones since you wont have much work history......

    biggest thing sometimes is to just lie. if they want to hear mailk eggs cheese...you telll them that.


    i believe the guy two posts up has a shop, he should be good for leads.
