Job application

Not during this recession but the last one, when the dot-com implosion hit California and our area hard, Scott was out of work for quite some time. He is usually a network administrator, but all the technology jobs dried up at once. So he decided to try selling cars for a while instead, mostly to see what it was like. The two or three months he spent at it is another story that I'll tell another time.

These are real questions from the car sales application, and Scott's real answers.
