* Melissa placed 9 Service Managers, 2 Fixed Operations Directors and many Advisors and Parts people in 2018.

Hi, my name is Melissa Lacasella and this is my 8th year at Car People. As a former Service Advisor for 7 years locally,  I love helping people confidentially with their careers.

No matter where you work or who you work for your contact with me will be 100% confidential.  You are my customer and have the right to look for a new job if that’s your choice but I don’t recruit people.

I look forward to helping you confidentially as a customer with your Career, Resume, Interview Coaching and Compensation. We make it easy for you!  This is our 33rd year in business.

We have the contacts! Many of the Dealer Principals and General Managers I work with are long term customers. Many of the  Fixed Operations Directors and Service  Managers I work with are people we have placed in their jobs or have long term relationships with.

MULTI BRAND NEW CAR DEALERSHIP  OREGON 

Melissa did a good job of listening to my situation and what type of job I wanted at this point in my career. I didn’t want to just jump into something.  She was very aware of what I wanted and found me two opportunities.  She did a good job of tailoring those jobs to my needs. Melissa placed me as a Fixed Operations Director and I love it here!

Melissa carefully vetted Service Manager candidates prior to giving me a list of people to consider. She provided me with references from former employers so I could choose what Applicants I wanted to talk to.  The references she checked were very valuable to us. It saved me a lot of time.  Melissa significantly reduced the time it took to find and hire a new Service Manager. She made it easy for  me.

One of the things I really liked is every time I called for Melissa she was available and I got right through to her. If I emailed or texted her I could always reach her.  Melissa is consistent  and that is one of the things I love about her. She is wonderful.  When I was in a high stress situation she’d calm me right down and took care of business. Melissa is definitely worth what we pay her for.

Melissa, thanks for your nice feedback on your updates with the new Service Manager you just placed with me. First off he is a great guy.  We do have a vision and we get along well. There is LOTS of opportunity. I want a long term relationship with him and we are laying out our plan of attack.
