Thoughts on Gordon

if you got an offer from them, take it. things are really bad in the industry as far as hiring freezes and so fourth, so if they gave you an offer, take it before its gone and your still looking.

 

Yep I agree...I have an offer and will know next week when I call to set a date for orientation with GTI. I have filled out quite a few app's and they just aren't really hiring newbys right now. From what I hear on other posts, they only accept like 40 % of people that even apply. That's being picky and getting the right people to work for them...

 

I just found out that I'm going to orientation with GTI on feb 17th... Man am I excited,and can't wait to get there.Hey Truckerscott, I spent 23 years as a GM parts mgr/back counter guy and this will be a big change for me.

 

Congrats, Welcome aboard, I think you will really like it here. By the way, I was a tech for the last 30+ years. This is quite the lifestyle change.

 

You got that right.I wanted to get into a good company so I wouldn't have to jump around.There are so many horror stories out there and GTI is one of the very few companies that I haven't found any major issues at all with. They are very deliberate with who they hire now and 4 guys in my class got turned down by them. I'm ready for the change and welcome new scenery instead of some tech with a bad attitude...LOL

 

Hmm, maybe its a parts guy thin w GTI, I am talking to them, was a FORD PM for 20 some years and got downsized New Years Eve, my thing is , I drove OTR and was a OO for 9 years before so need to go thru the whole thing again to get started

 

This seems to be a good time to get away from dealerships I guess. They have been on a downslide since last summer....at least here in Vegas. I have 6 more days till I get to Calif for orientation....

 

CA.? Where at ? Modesto?
