Stop! Before you decide to apply for this job, I want you to ask yourself a few questions. And I want you to really think about your answers, because your honest responses to these questions will help you determine if Dealers Wholesale is right for you.

1. Do you take ownership of your responsibilities and commitments, both to yourself and to others? Or do you pass the buck, point fingers, and make excuses?
2. Do you go out of your way to collaborate with others and be of service to others? Or do you work in silos, and choose to serve your own agenda before the larger team?
3. Do you proactively take the initiative to solve problems that arise? Or are you content to point out the problem and wait for someone else to solve it?
4. Do you drive toward excellence in everything you do, and work to be better every day than the day before? Or do you settle for mediocrity rather than continually improving?
