Saturday Job - Moto Rapido Winchester
 

Hi All,

With the recent stuff about adverts on this forum, if this ad upsets anyone, feel free to remove it and i'll put it in Pronto. but I think its of interest to you all.

Things are getting busy!

As most of you know, we spend a few weekends in the summer racing so we need some help.

We are looking for a new member of the Moto Rapido team to help on Saturdays and bank holidays in the showroom.

You don't need to be a professional salesperson or have worked in a bike showroom before but you MUST be as into Ducati as we are and keen to learn how we do things.

The job involves making sure all the customers have what they need, talking bikes, answering the phone, making coffee and helping get demo bikes ready (fuelled and cleaned etc) and helping with bike and clothing sales.

A bike licence is an advantage, as some customers prefer accompanied test rides (not a bad bit of the job !)

Ideal applicant:

Love Ducati
Honest and reliable
Real team player

The rest we can teach you i.e. an in depth knowledge of Ducati's, servicing and racing.

Hours : 10am - 5pm Saturday and Bank hols

Pay : neg. (mostly because you'll love it)

Location : Winchester, Hampshire.

If any of you are keen or know someone who would be, please send me an email at wilf@motorapido.co.uk

Thanks

Wilf.

Thanks Ian.

I'm just not sure about the time commitment. Otherwise I'd jump at it!

i've got no weekend plans for the forseeable future :)

Wilf, if you were not 160 mile away I would apply for this in a heart beat.

Good luck in finding the right person.

i was hoping he needed to look no further

Shame im up in Scotland or i would Apply as well. . .

/ian :(

Long shot I know, but, will you pay re-location fee's :lol:

Domski is looking for a job Wilf - might be worth dropping him a u2u?:puzzled::saint:

I can give you specific dates that you really ought to make him work too:D

ah, seem to have had a most of the DD grid interested!

It wouldn't be every saturday, but most so would clash with racing (not just mine!!!)

thanks so far, the search continues...

LOL does that mean i never got the job then ?

Got you're email weeksy, you're not out of the running let, i'll be in touch later, postive thinking is also very important :lol::lol:

Hey Wilf what about a job share, I am sure that we could get 3 or 4 of us together such that it wouldn't need then to be such a commitment for someone. Sounds like a brilliant job that some of us would consider doing for just our expenses and maybe the occasional job done on the bike;) It is something I've always wanted to do working in a bike shop:cool:

Hey that's a cool idea.

No no no.

Thanks but that really wouldn't work, we work as a team and teams with lots of part time members dont work.

You wouldn't all want to share the staff discounts and I can only just fit one more staff bike in the engine room!

This job is just that - a job, not a hobby or something to do on the odd saturday off. Sorry if it was misleading but we need someone who our customers can get to know so they need to be here to work every Saturday. Even then, it will take some time to get the hang of it.

Customers are very demanding people and you really have to be prepared to go out of you way for them.

I guess a lot of people want to work in a bike shop as it is their hobby but its not quite as its seems.

Serious applicants should be prepared to put the hours / effort in. it can be quite demanding - but Very rewarding.

Hi Wilf ... I can't believe you mean this surely? :rolleye: The demanding bit I mean - I know you go out of your way for your customers ;)

Someone please take Everton's wooden spoon off him!

Sorry Wilf it was just an idea, understand completely where you are coming from. Would love to help out but could only do one or two saturdays a month.

:lol::lol:

btw Max Biaggi is looking for a job - he know's a bit about bikes :D

yeah, had max's CV.

Think Tesco have offered him a job though.:P

Wilf,

If you're still looking in about 5 years I'll send my boy over.

This would be a fantastic job for somebody, however, like yourself, I think we're all a bit comitted to spending our Saturdays playing with our hobbies already -

Good luck!

Richard

:puzzled:If your still looking at the end of the current footie season i'm your man!I can't take much more punishment from the saints so won't renew my season ticket.
I live locally-Swanmore,i'm reliable,according to my employer a workaholic,i get on with most people,don't race,got full bike license and use of a Vito.Already got a Duke so know what to expect from a customer,cos i am one!I'll even pop into Tesco's on the way in to get fresh donuts:burn:

So up to now we've got 1 person who wants to do it... and loads who don't really...


:cool:

I definitely want to do it and if i didn't have impending promotion coming my way i'd apply.
Iv'e too hard towards it to give it up now and I work saturdays already :sniff:

doesn't Henners need a new job?????????

or does he need a new bike....

Hmmmm ... how much is staff discount :puzzled: :lol:
