i’m a national manager for CARSTAR automotive Canada and i can probably place any qualified person in any province of Canada at virtually anytime.
case in point, Dan (happy240sx / U2N) is now a regional manager for CARSTAR as of a few months ago. See this thread: http://www.son240sx.org/forums/showthread.php?t=46073&highlight=carstar
I also filled the same position in alberta and have put at least 6 SON guys into various CARSTAR’s across Ontario.
Moreover, i can provide insight into which locations are better to work in and i can direct the resume to the franchisee and the regional manager directly… that regional manager may very well be Dan in fact.
I would be more than happy to place aspiring autobody techs and painters anywhere, any time. The mechanical side is tougher… plus… i think you can make more in autobody… there are guys in Ontario that pull 6 figures as techs and in alberta its even more.
