Vital is a cruel place sometimes when people think that you're asking for a handout. I've definitely thought about applying to some dealerships. I have a few that are here locally but I don't think they're big enough to really need to take on an intern but it doesn't hurt to look into. Around January I hope to purchase a new bike, so when I go in I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions about work possibilities. I also have family based out of Southern CA so relocation wouldn't be a big issue for me. Thanks for the reply!
Vital can be a horrible place. I used to live and breath this forum but not so much now. It's a dog eat dog forum where people treat each other harder then they would in real life. I don't really come on here much apart from getting results or the odd read worthy topic
But I wouldn't even put it as an internship, I would go in there just as a casual/part time worker and ask to run their socials, and websites, on top of any bike shop duties (sales, entering invoices etc.) They normally pay outside contractors huge money to do their website stuff. Do a few sales campaigns a year, keep everything active and up to date.
If it helps, my partner just landed herself a graduate position for a building company, her first job? Make their FB, insta, Pinterest, websites etc. all very active and practical. Start with the small stuff and put it on your resume till you land what you're after. In all honesty, after working in the industry, you may find it's not where you want to work at all.
