Right now Im the low guy on the food chain, Ive only been doing body work for 6 months and detailing cars when winter comes will suck. The seasoned techs tell me the buisness is really going down and its not like it use to be. Heck, they arnt even making a decent wage lately either. I just feel that the shop isnt making it and I'd be the first to get laid off. The other guys even are talking of jumping ship soon.
I will be dropping off a resume today and filing out the app. Thank you all for support and input

I love it when I call or go to a dealer and get the straight skinny on parts. My dealer has always been fair, honest and actually directs me away from the dealer parts purchase if he can't make a competitive price offer on a part. That keeps me coming back even if they are a little more expensive. With computers, it's easy to find and price parts now and people appreciate someone else doing the leg work for them.
On the personal side, steady work with opportunities for advancement, especially in today's market is a big plus. Sounds to me that's the direction you are heading.
Good luck.
