If you live in southwestern Ontario and want a fun job in the marine industry, Yamaha is looking for a new Dealer Service Support Coordinator.

 

According to a job posting on Yamaha's website, the position includes "providing dealer support through telephone contact in areas of technical assistance, parts delivery, troubleshooting, and warranty authorizations. The candidate will be responsible for coordinating dealer administration with respect to warranty claims and part returns, advise dealers on service, warranty, and parts and accessories policies and procedures. This role may require periodic visits and inspections to dealerships to provide service support."

Does this mean I shouldn't have dropped French after Grade 9?

Would have made no difference....there is the 'school' French, then the real French which to me sounds like a chain saw at WOT.....

Probably makes you more adaptable within the company...vacation relief in other parts of the country..or say in the case of addressing warranty claims:

 

English - no

En Francais - non

another case of discrimination against English speaking Canadians

What an employer is really asking for when they state they want someone who is "fluently bilingual", is someone who has a french background. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the person in charge of making hiring decisions is French himself, and simply prefers to employ his "own kind".

 

Try getting a job in Ontario in the logging/lumber industry if you're not French...good luck.

You would be working with dealers in Quebec and other parts of the country that will only speak French.
