More women wanted in car sales More women wanted in car salesPosted October 13, 2011, by Louisa Veidelis Women with sales experience take note the car sales and services sector wants you. Trivett automotive group is set to change the culture of the traditionally male-dominated car sales and services industry by hiring only women for jobs in the sector, along with other initiatives. The major Australian automotive group has received an exemption from the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board allowing it to actively recruit only female staff in the sectors of car sales and services advice. Trivetts Group General Manager Kirsty Duncan is delighted to be at the forefront of the action in moving the industry forward and addressing the gender disparity. She believes the change will be a positive one for both customers and staff. A recent survey of our customer database found that female customers enjoy dealing with females and in some cases prefer it, said Duncan. Furthermore, women are now sign ificant influencers of car purchasing decisions, making up roughly 60 per cent of our car-buying population. This is one of only two exemptions the Anti-Discrimination board has granted in 2010, and the first exception ever for the automotive industry. Trivett, which employs more than 500 people, aims to increase the percentage of female sales consultants from eight per cent to 25 per cent female over the course of the two-year exemption period, while hiring both men and women in other parts of the business. The company is also introducing new training programs for its current employees, such as an etiquette and workplace behaviour training program. These initiatives are intended to better their communication styles and improve understanding of the needs of female customers.Certificate IV in Retail ManagementStudy modeOnlinePayment optionsPayment planUpfront paymentEnquire Online Enquire OnlineRetail ResourcesHigh school student resumeHigh school student cover letterCareer Ins ider StoriesShelley Lask - Body Positive Health & FitnessInterested in becoming a?Team LeaderDepartment ManagerRetail Cosmetic AssistantCustomer Service ManagerRetail ManagerPopular Career Searchesnew york resume templateaged care interview questions for rnsales manager cover letterretail sales assistant resume samplechild care resume sampleRetail CoursesCertificate III in Customer EngagementEnquire Online Enquire OnlineCertificate IV in Customer EngagementEnquire Online Enquire OnlineLouisa VeidelisRelated ArticlesBrowse moreUniversityWork experienceUse your retail job to launch your careerEven if its just a part-time job while youre studying, you can use retail experience to develop new skills, give your resume substance, and demonstrate to future employers that you have initiative and a healthy work ethic.WORKFORCE TRENDSWoolworths creates jobsAfter a dire week for Australian employment, a glimmer of hope from retail giant Woolworths who have announced the creation of an extra 70 00 jobs this year.StressWellbeingExtinguish the Burnout With Annual LeaveStressed out, feeling under the pump or have loads of pressure on you at work?
