so i've tried circuit city, best buy, and the local high end shops, but it seems nobody wants to hire me.

i have an interview at the good guys today for a car audio sales position (my goal is to be an installer but since nobody needs/want me, i figure sales would be a good foot in the door).

i think the reason i havent been getting hired so far is because i pretty much have no experience. i've had a few jobs, but nothing really respectable.

i know my stuff, so how do i convince them that i'll be great??

go to an installer school, get certified.. and a degree in a related field helps, too.. like an engineering degree, or auto mechanic certifications like ASE.

Nobody will hire you as an installer with zero experience and no qualifications. Would you want someone like that to work on your car at a garage or an install bay, honestly?
Sales you might have better luck.. and from there you can try a lateral move to installation later.

that's a great first step. order the study guide first and memorize it.
there's a sample test for basic at www.mecp.com as well.. to give ya an idea of what it'll be like.
