left my job yesterday
had a few days off last week , got into work yesterday and they gave me a load of grief about it they sent me to meeting with the managers at chigwell told me it was just a 1-1 meeting to check i was happy etc
got there and it was basically a bollocking and they gave me a ultimatum sell 3 house within a week or they would have to reconsider my job
went away really pissed off, gave it some thought on the drive back and realised i cant force/make any one buy 3 house in a week its virtually impossible im targetted on 4 a month usually, so went back handed in my notice and told them i wanted to leave straight away there faces were a picture lol
sort of shot myself in the foot as i have the mortgage to pay and that but this is the first time in my life i aint had a job!!!!
had a interview yesterday afternoon i dont hang about at a honda/ mitshuibishi dealership it seems ok but im going out hand delivering my cv in my suit later hopefully get somthing sorted really fancy audi or somthing a bit more prestigious
back to car sales where the money is at

Good man, best attitude to have
I kinda did the same thing a few years ago, was a temporary supervisor in WHS, kept being promised a permanent position, got pissed off with waiting so I got another job that was 6k more a year, but I got to tell the area manager to poke the job up his arse when he offered it to me permanent they day before I left

No worries mate, top tip:
Go out and buy the local Autotrader to you and pepper CV's at all the main dealers/franchise owners [e.g. Reg Vardy] or any dealers you fancy working for
Remember the little guys too [like me ] sometimes they take on people with little or no experience, knowing full well you'll fook off in a years/2 years time AND with smaller places theres more chance making "extra" wages

I worked for Reg Vardy a few years back and I was taking home about Ł4.5k a month. I stayed there for 7 months to get back on my feet financially then started my own site up with my best mate
I would go back into, but I wouldn't work weekends ever again.....
Good on you for telling them what what and I hope you get what your looking for soon

ive been out every day for the past 2 weeks hand delivering my cv and potfolio to all the car dealerships in my area , suited and booted and only 3 sales managers have even bothered to take time away from their coffee to meet me . iv handed in over 50 cv's so far and spent nearly Ł140 in fuel travelling around
good luck with your job hunt m8y , its a royal pain in the arse this time of year
