How To Get Started In The Automotive Industry
Engineering companies, auto dealerships, and body shops all need to hire and retain skilled automotive technicians, field investigators, and salespeople. If you are interested in how to start a career in automotive technology, be sure to take some time to think about your personal goals and the options available for achieving them. For those of you who are interested in building a career in the automotive industry, here are some of the things you can do to get yourself started... Consider Your Options There are a variety of niches within the automotive industry. The best way to start out your career is by doing some research and figuring out which area you want to specialize in. Some of the main specialisms within the automotive industry include: Automotive Technicians - The technically-minded can find a job repairing cars that are broken if they are willing to undergo some training. Whether a car simply needs an oil change or major bodywork is required after a car wreck, there needs to be someone willing to do the physical work required to actually fix the car. Making sure your training is relevant is particularly important, so even if you already know how to work on cars, getting automotive and diesel certifications will help you keep your resume relevant in the current job market. Marketing - Knowing how to make sure the right audience finds the right product can be tricky, but it’s a business that can find work in almost any industry. If you have a strong interest in vehicles and experience in the marketing sector, a marketing job within the automotive industry might be for you. Sales - Selling cars on the sales floor can be a decent job if you like interacting with people. Selling cars, new or used, takes persistence, a desire to work on your feet, and the ability to keep going after failed attempts at a sale. Most importantly, though, a car salesman will have a genuine interest in building relationships with people and have a solid knowledge about cars. Expand Your Network Once you’ve decided what area you want to specialize in and built up your skill set in that area, you should work on expanding your network. Make contacts and network at industry trade shows and events, connect with prospective employers on social media, and talk to your friends and family about the kind of work you are looking for. Use A Recruiter Even with heavy networking, starting a career in the automotive industry isn’t always easy. You might be frustrated by how difficult it is to get your foot in the door, how slow going it is, or how little opportunity there seems to be. This is why working with a recruitment agency that specializes in placing workers in the automotive industry, can make your job search a whole lot easier. Autoskills UK sources permanent and contract personnel for a diverse range of roles covering technical, sales & marketing, finance & administration, and customer service across our core sectors: Dealership Truck & Bus Bodyshop & Accident Repair To get your career started, get in touch with our team today.

Five In-Demand Job Skills To Build During Lockdown
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the equivalent of 305 million full-time jobs have been lost globally, according to the International Labour Organization. Manufacturers, airlines and retailers have been particularly hard hit, announcing redundancies in the thousands. If you find yourself in this situation, why not use this time to work on your skillset and enhance your employability, instead of focusing on the negatives. We’ve outlined some of the key skill sets which employers are looking for, below: Communication Due to the pandemic, remote working has become more present in society than ever, making the need to communicate efficiently online incredibly important not just for employees, but also for employers. According to Hays Salary & Recruiting Trends, two-thirds of employers cite communication and interpersonal skills as important – yet only around half of employees report actively developing this skill set. Udemy and OpenLearn, both offer a range of online courses on effective communication in the workplace, personal branding for career success, working in diverse teams, developing career resilience and more. Why not try them out! Problem Solving The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to think differently about their problems, as the crisis has created change in everything from operational to business models. So how can you learn to improve your problem solving abilities? Employers look for individuals with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This three-week online course from RIT can help you learn how to develop these key skills, enabling you to assess and analyse a situation, design a solution, and ultimately win in a competitive scenario. Analytical Skills Businesses everywhere are facing and making tough choices, ranging from budgeting decisions to changing headcount. While many people leave this up to management, it has been proven that analytical, focused thinking can help at every level of an organization. Udemy offers thousands of online courses on data analysis from beginner level and beyond. Leadership Ability Despite common beliefs, leadership isn’t all about being an executive. There are useful leadership lessons that anyone, at any level in an organisation, can benefit from. These include being able to make a clear list of your priorities, bringing people together to achieve a common goal, managing risks and setbacks. The benefits are endless. Reed offers a range of leadership and management courses which you can use to improve your leadership abilities. Commercial Awareness Whilst not a technical skill, increasing your understanding of how different industries and businesses work can greatly influence your success. It’s important to know what is going on in the world, and have the ability to analyse it in a way that might better impact your organisation – or your career. Subscribing to The Economist or FT, or other industry relevant news outlets, can help you build a knowledge and understanding of business communities.

How Could Autonomous Vehicles Affect Jobs In The Automotive Industry?
With the government ban of the sale of new petrol and diesel cards by 2030 and the impressive progress and developments on self-driving and autonomous vehicles, is the automotive industry being forced in a different direction? We wanted to take a look at the impact of these changes on the workers in the automotive industry, and how their jobs may be impacted in the future. Necessity for a New Skill Set With the continuous increase of investment in self-driving and environmentally friendly electric vehicles, mechanics are going to need to adopt a new skill set. Car body control modules are already filled with unique scripts and software that’s a challenge for body shop owners and mechanics, but with the rise of self-driving technology the internal workings of cars will only get more complicated. Automotive companies may need to hire new experts with specialised knowledge in autonomous vehicle engineering. Introduction of Further Smart Vehicle Technologies As the availability for smart and autonomous vehicles increases, so will the demand for further smart technologies, such as smart motorways. Smart motorways have been in development for many years, and governments are still adapting their plans. As self-driving car technology advances, so too will smart motorways and potentially other smart automotive technologies. Workers in the automotive industry will need to prepare for such changes in their industry. Changing of Road Insurance and Regulation Policy Furthermore, not only those with automotive jobs such as mechanics and designers will be impacted, but also those who work in car insurance and policy making. With a new introduction of potential faults and accidents related to autonomous vehicle failure, this brings an entirely different field of legal questions into the mix. Companies may need to hire additional staff to deal with claims or adjust the rules of the road to account for the rise of self-driving cars.

6 Recruitment Trends For 2021
Despite the current climate 2021 brings with it a whole new range of possibilities for the workplace. Below, we explore some of the trends which we think are most likely to change in 2021. Remote Working While we may see the return of many employees back to offices, it is undeniable that remote working has become a new possibility for many organisations. A 2020 IBM survey found that two thirds of remote workers wanted to continue working from home, and just more than half would prefer it as their main mode of employment. This year we may see an increase in remote working job opportunities, and possibly more flexibility from companies regarding the ability for employees to work remotely part-time. Increase in Virtual Interviews Alongside an increase in remote working, it is also likely that in this year the popularity for virtual interviews will follow suit. With more fine tuned tools for virtual communication available than ever before, there are less obstacles in the way of virtual interviews, which are also much more convenient for both parties. This combination of remote working and virtual interviewing could also lead to a greater globalisation in job opportunities as well, with employees being able to work with teams across the globe from a simple push of a button. Psychometric Tests Becoming More Popular No face-to-face meetings and virtual interviews do leave a difficulty in ensuring that new hires are fully capable of the tasks presented by a job. That is why online psychometric tests are becoming more popular and will inevitably be used more frequently. They provide a simple way for employers to assess talent and skill level from a distance. Broader Hiring Criteria In the world of online work, communication, problem-solving and collaboration are not the only skills necessary for a functioning team member. Organisations will be looking to hire individuals with a broader skill set e.g., new media literacy, virtual collaboration, responsive and proactive thinking, cross-cultural competency, social intelligence and systems thinking. We can also expect to see companies aiming to secure more diversity in their organisation, with a strong push this year for greater equality in the hiring process. Social Media recruiting Recruiting on social media is no longer a supplemental option, with almost 85% of companies saying that they have hired on social media with great success. This is where a lot of young candidates are now actively finding and looking for jobs. It’s no longer enough to simply advertise a position on LinkedIn, it is important for organisations to cultivate smart relationships that proactively engage candidates individually. Use Of Talent Pools/Internal Hiring Finally, we have also seen the emergence of companies using talent pools as a hiring strategy. By maintaining a talent pool of internal and external candidates, companies can ensure that they will find qualified and experienced hires more quickly. Internal hiring is also seeing an uptake, with employees more frequently advancing within a single organization.
