Auto sales question.... (Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando: relocate, traffic, community)

[kt_mom]

My husband is a GSM at a multi line dealer. We live in a small/medium town in the mid Atlantic region. We are looking to possibly relocate and Florida is our first choice. I spent a lot of time there as a kid with family in Merritt Island. I've always wanted to live there. I would like to be in Orlando but we would consider the Jacksonville area or Tampa as well.

My husband and I have both looked all over the internet for positions in those areas. He has contacted a couple of places he found online in the last few days but we haven't heard much. I know it is difficult to get a management position from the outside usually. I know at his store they always promote from within.

Anyway, if anyone has any advice or reccomendations they would be greatly appreciated. My husband has over ten years experience in the same dealership with 8 of those years in management. He's currently a GSM but has held F&I and secondary and both used and new car management positions. He is excellent at what he does and would be a great asset to any dealership. He would like to find something as a sales manager or GSM but would consider F&I at the right dealership. Reputation in the community is also important to him.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, i would recommend, if he is already using sites like career builder to actually call the dealership rather than email, because he obviously has the experience but using email is impersonal and his resume will just get lost amongst all the others who probably are not as experienced as him.

Best of luck

Thanks! I agree.

I'm sure there are tons of dealerships in the Orlando area. Can anyone reccommend some good high traffic dealerships that have a good reputation in the area?

Anyone with any first hand knowledge of the car sales in that area?

Thanks!
