I am about to get my associates degree in automotive technology (as an auto technician) and I really want to work for Porsche. However I realize it is hard to get a job with porsche with no exotic’s experience would working for Volkswagen put me on the fast track to becoming a Porsche technician?
Best Deal Ads :
What your best bet is, is to find out of the VW and the Porsche dealerships in your town are owned by the same person. If they are, then start out at the VW dealership and prove your a great worker, etc.
It’s what a friend of mine did here. Although he actually started out at a Ford dealership, and the owner also owned the Porsche dealership in town. He made good friends with the owner and proved he was a hard worker, and the owner sent him for training for Porsche.
He now works there, and couldn’t be happier.
Although the one thing he did say, is that if you mess up or are rude to customers there, you get sent back to the Ford dealership haha…
They only want the best tech’s on staff working there.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
