god, i read the first 2 pages of this, and skimmed the rest, how many times do you want to say how beautiful you are? "omigod, they wont hire me because im beautiful, blah blah blah". just get off your computer and try harder,
this reminds me of a couple of friends of mine, they are hot, and they know it, and are used to getting everything their own way, and when they dont, they blame everything else...im not saying you are like this because i dont know you but it sounds familiar...
plus i know a chick thats an apprentice grease monkey, she spins spanners better than anyone because she has worked hard and she showed the boss that.
i dont see a stereotype in that workplace, when they say they have a girl mechanic, the response is "cool" or "ok then" are you sure your just not looking to far into it...

and yes, i realise you will take most of this out of context but unlike some, i dont care what others think.
end rant.

Good luck with getting the job you want. Don't let anybody say you carn't do this or you carn't do that, you can do what ever you want. Just don't give up on your dream. Just remember "there is more than one way to skin a cat".

LilMissDrift, I think you have exaggerated the stereotypical thing way to far. Today it is non existent at least compared to 10 years ago. It is slowly fading away and it’s the older generation still holing onto the cars = men.
Today I know 100 times more women involved/interested in cars then 10 years ago. There is not a switch anywhere that changes it, so only time will help.

Also the stereotypical woman you mentioned earlier (blonde, petite, big breasted, etc) is all in the woman’s mind. This isn’t the 70’s anymore yet women still grasp onto the thought that men only go for this. Again this has changed and once you let it go, it will be gone.

All I can say it is absolutely awesome to be able to site down and chat about cars to someone, regardless of their gender.

Actually, most girls at car shows are brought there by their boyfriends. The look bored and while the BFs check out the cars we used to rate the girls and usually get a smile out of them.

No, it was a generalisation based on your observations of (what i would guess would be about) 2% of the 'car chicks' in Australia.
