rice_me_up Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 yeah. ive sent out some letters with attatched resume's to a couple of different performance places, but english was never a strong subject so they might read the letter and laugh btw lebostyles: i sent a letter to hypertech, hopefully i'll get a response. thanks for the linky!

Mulkers Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Best bet is to talk to people you know. My parents are on good terms with a few mechanics, and salespersons, and they were happy to help me out. Also, registering with a job network like workways or cvgt or something can help a lot.
