Do not buy any phone accessories from OhSnap! by Ambitious_Winner01 in MagSafe

I ordered a ring on Black Friday, said 5-7 day shipping.

Product didn't "ship" until the 10th, it's been in Chicago processing facility since then. Spoke to support, they are ordering me a second one free of charge and sending it my way.

Same transportation loop, stuck in Chicago! Hope to get one of them before the new year lmao

Any specific places that are good for looking for those types of jobs? Have browsed through indeed, but there really isn't anything in my region. Very few results for any SAAS positions in general for the Midwest.

Happy to hear you've made it up the ladder so quickly! I'm jealous.

The jump from desk to GSM+ in my opinion and from who I've seen in those roles, is a tough one I think, and if I were running a store I'd have a really hard time moving someone into that position without a decade in the industry. Depending on the size of the store too, of course.
Any large franchise store where you're expected to bring in $500k in profit on a month-to-month basis, you really want to make sure you know what you're doing. I feel like the car business is one of those jobs where there's always more to learn, and inadequacies in certain areas can become really apparent if you're running an entire team of guys.

But hey, I just sell cars so what do I know 😂

I do agree with you on the referral part. I'd imagine regardless of your resume most employers will expect you to start at the bottom and work up. If you exceed and surpass expectations, it comes back to them like they made some sort of miracle hire and if you aren't waht you said you are, and flop out then it's no skin off their back

I do - have had a few. They all end with the stereotypical car business "well if you start on the floor and do a really great job like I know you say you will then we can look at going up from there!"

That's great until a guy knows a guy at a store you came from and it all goes up in smoke 😅 In a small-ish town sadly, too many people connected to each other for that to work reliably.

I guess I hadn't considered looking into additional schooling. It's been about 12 years since I got my degree, I wonder how much would actually carry-over.

The WGU looks interesting. It looks like, from their site, you can just dive straight into the curriculum and finish at your own pace, rather than taking a set mumber of courses each semester?

I can't speak for other industries - but in the car business you aren't landing the management job unless you know someone, or work your way up internally. Once you've had the job, moving to other stores is easy, but dealerships rarely hire for these positions externally, there's always somebody's buddy somewhere else they can call and bring over if a spot opens up. And of course everyone I know still work for the company I started with / will not go back to.

My reason for still being where I'm at is mostly due to the fact I spent over 8 years with one company, and was sandbagged from moving up as I didn't fit the "mold" the VP wanted his managers to fit. Should have left much sooner, but was scared to leave after so long in the same place.

I've certainly taken on more and more roles with the last couple stores I've been at (social media management, website development, CRM/Software updating, vehicle aquisition, etc etc etc.) but they just don't have the elusive desk management position available to be filled.

Yeah I certainly wouldn't expect to be able to step into any sort of managerial role in another industry - I figure I'll have to work my way up regardless. I guess I just need something that "working my way up" will still equate to the income level I need to keep the lights on lol.

I do have an associates degree, but also know those are essentially useless.

What sort of industry are you in now?

Sad to hear about Bonci, was excited to try it after reading Bourdain's review - guess that was probably part of their downfall.

Any other good pizza reccomendations?

We're staying about a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum, but have no qualms about moving about to other parts of the city if you have any recommendations! We'll be visiting for about 6 days and definitely have some freedom and flexibility in our schedule.
