    Default Discrimination Based on Gender for a Sales Position

    In Illinois


    In the last almost three years I have applied at a local ford dealership 8 to 10 different times. I have 7 year experance in sales, customer service, and for the last 3 years I have been an Managing an Automotive Shop. I literty know cars inside and out. This company everytime I have applied give the job to these 18-19 year old boys (no offense) who know nothing about customer service let alone sales, and yet they get the job. This company in 10 years that I or people that I know have been buying cars there have never seen a woman sales person, the only woman they have ever seen there are either there to buy a car or work as a cashier.

    And mind you these 18-19 year olds boys that they do hire get fired within 2 weeks to 2 months because they don't know what they are doing.



    What can I do about this company? I love car especialy fords and love working in sales and customer service.

    How do you know it's because you are female that you are being turned down for a sales position? Have there been other females who have applied for sales positions & been turned down also?

    Yes many they only hire 18-19 guys. I know one woman who was the top sales person at another dealership but wanted to work closer to home so when this dealership put an ad out saying that they were hiring for sales and once again they hired two 18-19 year old boys unstead of a top woman sales person from another dealership.
