Top 5 Mistakes that People Make when Applying for Car Jobs
The team at Auto Skills UK look at loads of applications from automotive professionals, but we’ll only put forward an applicant if we think that they are the right fit for the job. That being said - there are some common mistakes that we’ve spotted that will cause your application to stick out for all the wrong reasons. Here are our top five mistakes… and ways that you can avoid making them! Spelling errors It’s really important to check your CV and your cover letter carefully and make sure that your spelling and grammar are accurate. You could use a free online spellchecker like Grammarly, or ask someone to take a look at your application before you send it. Out of date information Any time you start a new job search, you should update your CV. Be sure include to your most recent role at the top, or if you’re currently unemployed, you could mention any training or projects you’ve been doing during this time. Potential employers will spot any gaps in employment straight away and usually ask you about these, so it’s best to provide a brief, professional reason where you can. A generic CV Whilst not everyone is a design pro, your CV should be more than just a piece of A4 paper with a wall of text written in ‘Times New Roman’. Things like changing the font and adding columns, headings or tables can make a big difference when there’s a pile of applications to look through. Using auto-fill When you’re applying for a job online, a lot of places will have an option to ‘auto-fill’ the form using information from your CV, LinkedIn or Facebook page. This can often go wrong - leaving your application muddled or incomplete - so if you do try and use this feature, double-check what information has been pulled through and edit it as necessary. Online history Try searching for your name on someone else’s phone or computer – you might be surprised at what comes up! A lot of employers will do a quick online search for applicants’ names nowadays, so we recommend making your online profiles private when applying for jobs. After all, the last thing you want is for your future boss to see embarrassing holiday photos from Malia 2008, or a stream of angry tweets about your football team losing! Looking for a new role? Sign up with Auto Skills UK today and we will help you every step of the way - from your initial application to your first day on the job!

Are Automotive Careers 'Future-Proof'?
The world of work is changing, and jobs are evolving. But despite modern advances in technology, there are certain sectors of the automotive industry that should be ‘future proof’ - meaning they’ll always need human beings! Now more than ever, it’s important for automotive workers to demonstrate their flexibility and show that they possess a range of skills that a computer doesn’t. Here are some examples of automotive jobs that we think could be 'future-proof'… HGV/ Vehicle Technicians Whilst there are lots of good diagnostic machines out there, there will always be problems with motor vehicles that require human input. This is especially true for heavy goods, and other more specialist vehicles. As a vehicle technician, you are able to find complex problems and you have the knowledge to solve them. This is still valuable to lots of employers in the motoring industry. Sales Representatives Online shopping might be convenient, but there are lots of people who wouldn’t feel comfortable making a big purchase like a car or van electronically! Car sales representatives are equipped to help customers find exactly what they’re looking for in a vehicle. They are also able to discuss car finance options. These kinds of financial agreements should really be discussed and signed in person – as we know not everyone reads the terms before clicking ‘I Agree’ online! Electrical Engineers JP Morgan estimate that by 2025, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles will account for around 30% of all vehicle sales. Because of this, we anticipate that there will be lots more jobs in this part of the industry - with a particular demand for Electrical engineers - so now could be a really good time to specialise if you haven’t already. Vehicle Battery Engineers Another area of the automotive industry where rapid technological advancement is taking place is vehicle batteries. Vehicle Battery Engineers have some of the top earnings in the engineering market – although you will need a Batchelor’s degree and possibly a Master’s to get into this career. If you’re planning your next automotive career move – Auto Skills UK can help you to find a job that’s right for you. Create a profile with us and upload your CV to get started…

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.
