I'm working at a new car dealership. I am a sales consultant. I'm going to school for Computer Science, not Marketing and Advertising, thus I am in need of some advice on how I, with very little budget, can get A) more people to come to the lot, and/or B) more people to come see me. My GM does the Craigslist, Autotrader, television commercials and newspaper ads so that is covered. What else? Any off beat/creative things I could do? Anything I can do to supplement the advertising? Thanks a bunch!

I know that you can get almost any job with a Mathematics degree, and I also that Mathematics graduates have the LOWEST levels of UNEMPLOYMENT, but which jobs can they get exactly? Specific details please? I know that you can be a maths teacher/lecturer, and that's obvious, but I really don't want to go into teaching. I also know that you can have a job in Finance and Accounting, but they are also obvious.

I'm thinking about getting a job selling cars and want to know the best place to start as a beginner? Used cars, new cars? A large dealership or a small? I'm thinking new car sales due to needing to know my product and I'm also thinking a large dealership would be better due to all their exposure ie, advertising? Like I said this is just what I think and would appreciate your input as an experienced sales consultant.

My husband was laid off from his job in a warehouse after a long time. Instead of going back to it, he'd like to work in a office environment. His background includes working on cars and stuff like that as well - I'm not sure how to word his resume to get him in the door. I'm not sure either what sort of jobs he should look for. He does have computer skills by the way. Any ideas?
