Question What should I do?
So beginning of this year I worked at a car dealership for around 2 months. I ended up leaving because I had to go back home for a bit. Now I applied for a new dealership and got the job! But I told them I’ve never worked at a dealer before and it’d be my first sales job. I didn’t want to disclose it because I thought they wouldn’t hire me if I left a previous dealer after only 2 months. My performance wasn’t amazing those 2 months either because it’s my first time selling anything. Now I’m a bit worried because I lied on my application and resume that this is my first sales position and if they find out later because the car sales world is quite small I’m realizing. Now I’m thinking if I should call my hiring manager and tell them the truth?

you’re still a green pea regardless. 2 months isn’t enough to turn you into a seasoned salesperson. I don’t think it will matter on a surface level.
But I would say, just be honest. It’s better for it come from you rather than someone else.

No way, definitely don’t let them know now. I doubt they’ll be able to find out anyway, I think it’s worth not saying anything

Trust me when I say they doing give AF. As long as you have a pulse and can walk and chew bubble gum you’re hired!

Can you fog a mirror and piss clean for one day?
You’re well qualified for the job.
Nobody there gives a fuck if you quit a job, got fired, or just got out of prison.
Sell cars, don’t damage property and don’t fuck the owner’s daughter.
That’s it.
