How to stand out when applying for jobs
Since the pandemic, it’s been tough to even get an interview – let alone a new job. When you’re competing with lots of other applicants who might have the same qualifications or experience as you, it’s really important that you stand out. Here are six ways to do just that when applying for jobs… Prepare, prepare, prepare It’s really obvious when someone has rushed an application and even more obvious if they show up to an interview unprepared! Once you’ve found a job that you’re interested in, make sure that you set aside some time to research the company and find a spot where you won’t be disturbed to complete the application/write an email. If you do manage to get an interview, spend some more time looking into the business (and who is interviewing you, if possible). Think of some questions that you want to ask them too, as they will probably ask you if you have any at the interview! Make sure that your CV looks the part Your CV should always be kept up-to-date and shouldn’t really be more than one to two sides of A4 paper. Use a clear font in a decent size and split it into sections showing your work experience, contact info and education history/ qualifications. Make sure you explain any gaps in employment and why you’re looking for a new role. You don’t need to use lots of graphics or colour, but in order to stand out, you might want to find a professional looking CV template online. Always include a cover letter This shows that you’re willing to make time and effort for the employer and it’s an opportunity to include relevant information that might not fit on your CV. Tailor your cover letter to that specific role and try to address how you meet the job specification, whether it’s through your experience or qualifications. Have a professional online presence Most employers will try to research prospective employees online nowadays so make sure that your online profiles are private. If they’re not, make sure that the publicly visible content that you’ve posted isn’t anything unprofessional. LinkedIn is a great place to build a professional online presence as you can display your career history and achievements on your profile. You can also connect with others in your industry and demonstrate your knowledge by joining in with conversations… Some people have even been offered a new job via LinkedIn! Be organised Keep a record of what jobs you’ve applied for, when the closing date is and whether you hear anything back or not. This could either be digitally on a spreadsheet or physically in a notebook – it’s completely up to you! (Of course – if you use a recruiter like Auto Skills UK, we keep track of your applications for you…) Work with a recruiter A recruiter usually screens CVs before putting candidates forward, so a letter, email or phone call of recommendation from a recruiter will give you one up on the other applicants. Having had lots of experience with CVs and cover letters, a recruiter can also help you with all of the things mentioned above. They handle hundreds of applications every day, so they know exactly what will help yours to stand out to a potential employer. Are you currently looking for work in the automotive industry? Let us help you find your next role – create a profile and upload your CV to get started…

Tips for School Leavers - Getting a job in the Motoring Sector
The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) has reported a significant year-on-year increase in interest for careers in the automotive industry this year, from both students and their Careers Advisors. Here at Auto Skills, we specialise in getting people jobs in the automotive industry! So we thought we’d answer some of the questions that school leavers considering a career in the motoring sector might ask… ‘What jobs are available?’ Whether you’re interested in vehicle manufacture and maintenance or you think you’d be more suited to the sales side of things, there are a wide range of roles available in the motor industry. There are also great progression opportunities within the sector and many workplaces offer incentives such as overtime, bonus schemes and flexible working hours. You can see some of our current vacancies and find out a bit more about what each role involves over on our Jobs Board. ‘Do I need qualifications?’ This depends on the role that you are interested in. Many employers will ask for at least 4 or 5 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C) or equivalent Intermediate qualifications such as Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Maths. Some roles also require you to have a Level 3 Advanced qualification. This can be achieved by taking a further education college course or apprenticeship, such as a Diploma in Vehicle Technology or an NVQ Diploma in Business and Administration. Apprenticeships usually take two to three years to complete and you will have to complete regular coursework or assessments, set by your college or training provider. ‘On-the-job’ apprenticeships are a great way to earn money whilst studying and they also give you hands-on experience in a workshop or dealership, which looks great on your CV this early on! There are of course some jobs - especially in car sales - that state that relevant experience or industry qualifications are not essential. These companies will be looking carefully at your CV and Cover Letter to see if you have any transferable skills or experience instead. Be sure to point out how you meet the role requirements in other ways e.g. personal attributes, previous participation in volunteering/group activities. A valid UK Driving Licence will put you above other candidates when applying for certain jobs in the motor industry. As you progress in the sector, there are also other specialist licenses you can go for, such as your HGV licence. ‘What are some ‘must have’ qualities for these roles?’ For jobs in car manufacture and maintenance, you should be able to work well in a team but also be comfortable with working independently. You should be someone who pays close attention to detail and who has good problem-solving skills. An interest in cars and other vehicles is of course beneficial! For service advisor and sales positions, you should have great customer service skills and be confident speaking to people on the phone and in person. It’s also helpful for you to have an interest in cars and other vehicles, as you’ll be better equipped to answer customer’s questions and identify what they’re looking for. ‘Where can I get more information?’ You can find out more about the different types of careers in the motor industry on the IMI Autocity website and in their ‘Insider’s Guide to Automotive Apprenticeships’. You should also speak to your teacher, tutor or careers advisor, as they may have more information about what courses, apprenticeships and jobs are available in your area.

Job Hunting in a Recession
As the UK heads into a recession, many are predicting tougher times ahead for jobseekers. But it’s important to remember that the job market for skilled trades doesn’t tend to fluctuate as much as others do at times like these…. After all - with over 40 million cars on the road in this country, the motor industry will always need mechanics and motor technicians! Still with more competition out there – it’s always better to be prepared when you’re job hunting. Here are six simple steps that you can take when looking for a job in a recession: 1. Make sure your CV is up to date It might sound obvious, but your CV is the first thing employers look at so it’s the first chance that you get to make a good impression. Include your most recent job and any training or projects you have taken on recently. Highlight each roles’ key responsibilities in a short paragraph or bullet-pointed list and try not to leave any gaps in employment unexplained. 2. Cast your net wide You might have to put the dream job on hold for the time being. Now is not the time to be picky - keep an eye out for any and all opportunities in your sector instead. That being said though, if you spot a role that you’d be really passionate about, you should definitely apply for it - even if you don’t meet all of the points listed on the job spec. A lot of employers would rather have someone who’s passionate, even if it means a bit of on-the-job training… 3. Build up your skills If you do find yourself between jobs, a part-time job or some temporary work will look better on your CV than nothing at all. Also, sometimes, these kinds of contracts get extended or eventually lead to full-time, so it’s good to at least get your foot in the door somewhere where possible. On the other hand, if you’re in the position to complete some training or a vocational course, now might be a good time to get that under your belt… This kind of pro-active attitude will look really impressive at your next interview! 4. Use your network There’s no shame in letting people know that you’re looking for a new job. Ask friends, family and former colleagues if they know of anyone hiring. Take a look over on LinkedIn and update your profile/make some new connections there. 5. Stay positive and keep going! Sending out application forms and being met with repeat rejections can be hard – but try not to get disheartened. Take a day off from your job search every so often so as not to get bogged down. Seek support when you need it and if you know other people who are also looking for work, why not ping them a message and agree to keep each other motivated? 6. Register your details with recruiters and agencies We can’t stress enough how important it is to speak to a professional when you need help with your job search! Here at Auto Skills, we have employers approaching us with new vacancies every single day. When you register with a recruiter like us, we’ll contact you straight away about the most relevant opportunities for you. Plus your consultant will include a recommendation, giving you a leg up above the candidates who are applying by themselves. Ready to get started? Register with Auto Skills and upload your CV here then head to our Jobs Board to see the latest automotive vacancies…

Resigning the correct way
Your employer may be be called upon in the future, possibly for a reference or should your career take you back to them in the future, so be careful how you go about handing in your resignation. Here are our top tips to do it the correct way. Keep it friendly Do not use your notice letter to air your grievances about the role or the company. This isn’t a time to cause a stir – if you wouldn’t say in the role do not mention it now. Understand your fellow employees may have different views about their roles and the company; try not to force your views on to them. Your career may be taking a different path but do not knock others. Be sure you want to leave Using your resignation to prompt a counter offer is a very dangerous tactic. Be very aware that the company many not wish to, or be in a position to make you an offer too good for you to refuse – so be fully prepared to follow through on your resignation. Some employers might see your job hunt as a lack of loyalty and are prepared to see your talents go. Tell your manager first Offices talk, so telling co-workers about a new job offer before you have told your line manager is a big mistake. Firstly, going into the conversation without them knowing gives you more control over the conversation, but further it helps to maintain your professional image. Leave on good terms It's important to try and leave on as friendly terms as possible, as it's likely you'll require a reference from there for your next role. It goes a long way when you thank your collegues and boss for their time, support and guidance too. At Autoskills we are dedicated to helping candidates transition from one role to another, so get in touch if you're looking for a new role today.
